As we usher in another fall season, millions also celebrate the Hispanic and Latinx diaspora in Hispanic Heritage Month. Running from September 15 to October 15, the next 30 days serve as a time of acknowledgment and appreciation for the rich histories and cultural contributions made by those that proudly represent Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.
September 15 has special significance in that it marks the day of independence from Spain for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Furthermore, Mexico and Chile commemorate their independence from Spain on September 16 and September 18 respectively.
