Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month
Celebrating National Hispanic Month
Each year Americans 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.
We are honoring National Hispanic Heritage Month tradition with a large
display of famous Hispanic leaders from all walks of life. The display is a way
to bring awareness of the contributions (both pass and present) these famous
people have brought to the American way of life. Students, faculty and staff
are encouraged to stop by. Test your knowledge by guessing who these famous
people are.
The display will be up at the Brighton Campus and the Downtown Campus
