About National Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month
National Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month (NHLHM) celebrates the culture, history, and contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans, including their roles in military service, education, the arts, and various cultural, social, and political spheres.
This nationwide celebration began as a week-long observance initiated by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. It was later enacted into law as a month-long observance by President Ronald Reagan on August 17, 1988. NHLHM is celebrated from September 15 to October 15.
