A message from the Civil Rights Team:
We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month to recognize the achievements and contributions of HispanicAmerican champions who have inspired others to achieve success.The anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua is on the 15th of September, which is why the month of celebration spans from September 15th to October 15th.
See the faces and hear the voices of fellow Hispanic/Latinx Americans in these videos:
