Each year, individuals across the country observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, by celebrating the cultures, histories and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.
This year’s theme, “Collective Heritage: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future,” celebrates the history, culture, and impact of Hispanic and Latino communities. It was selected by National Council of Hispanic Employment Program Managers, which each year, leads the process to select the annual theme and corresponding poster that federal agencies, schools and organizations have used when observing the month. The meaning:
Collective Heritage – embracing our shared roots and diverse experiences Honoring the Past – recognizing achievements, struggles, and contributions Inspiring the Future – highlighting ongoing impact and future leadership
