the Hispanic community to American society. From
Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, and include ”Día de
la Raza” (Columbus Day) and the independence
days of México and several Central American and
Caribbean countries.
Each year Hispanic Heritage Month is observed by
increasing numbers of governmental agencies and

and individual and community achievements.
