Each year, we observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from
September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and
contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain,
Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.
The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week
under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald
Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and
ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the
approval of Public Law 100-402.
