Heritage Month - September
National Hispanic Heritage Month |
September 15–October 15
2009 Theme—Embracing the Fierce Urgency of Now!
In 1968, the first Hispanic Heritage Week was approved on September 15. The President was called upon to issue an annual proclamation designating the week of September 15 as "National Hispanic Heritage Week." During this week people of the United States had the opportunity to plan and participate in ceremonies and activities that recognized the contributions of the many and diverse cultures within the Hispanic community.
The proclamation was amended in 1988 to extend the designated time of recognition to the month beginning September 15 and continuing until October 15.
