Hello JFY Members, and happy September!
Can you believe it's already September?! Neither can we!
This month, we invite you all to join us in celebrating National Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month. Each year from September 15 through October 15, Americans celebrate 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 under the Reagan administration in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15.
The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September18, respectively. Also, Indigenous Peoples Day or Día de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this 30 day period.
Please find more information regarding National Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month by visiting the website linked here.
