Hi, CMBC members! September 15 – October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month. Every year, Hispanic and Latino Americans' history, culture, and contributions are celebrated during Hispanic Heritage Month.
September 15 – October 15 was chosen as the dates for Hispanic Heritage Month to coincide with the dates that many North, Central, and South American countries gained or declared their independence. They are:
Mexico: September 16, 1810
Chile: September 18, 1810
Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua: September 15, 1821
Belize: September 21, 1981
