Hispanic Heritage Month Kickoff!

Literanista September 15, 2008

I celebrate Hispanic Heritage on the daily but for those of you who need a reminder – everyone else celebrates from September 15th-October 15th.

“Hispanic Heritage Month is the period to recognize the contributions of Hispanic Americans to the United States and to celebrate Hispanic heritage and culture. 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.” Via Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are a ton of festivities to share and enjoy in the orgullo!
