Announcing National Commemoration of Mexican American Heritage Day 

February 2nd

San Antonio, TX — Mexican American organizations, scholars, artists, and community leaders from across the United States have announced the launch of Mexican American Heritage Day (Dos Dos), a national commemoration to be observed annually on February 2, beginning in 2026.

The Mexican American Heritage Day Association proudly designates February 2nd as Mexican American Heritage Day. On Monday, February 2, starting at 11am EST, a fullday inaugural celebration is planned to honor the depth, resilience, and vibrancy of Mexican American heritage, culture, history, and music—an identity rooted in centuries of presence in this country.

February 2 holds profound meaning for our community. On February 2, 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed, formally ending the U.S.–Mexico War and redefining the borders of both nations. With that treaty, the people living in the newly annexed territories—our ancestors—became the first generation of what we now call Mexican Americans. The Treaty promised protections for our land, culture, and language. Those promises were not upheld. Yet despite displacement, discrimination, and generations of struggle, we endured. We rebuilt. We flourished.

ADVERTISEMENT

Today, Mexican Americans are woven into the fabric of the United States. Our communities stretch across the nation, and in many states, we are the dominant cultural presence—shaping art, labor, education, cuisine, music, and public life. This commemoration recognizes not only our survival, but our contributions, our creativity, and our ongoing commitment to justice and cultural pride.

The February 2 event will feature historical reflections, cultural presentations, musical performances, and community dialogues that honor our past while inspiring future generations. It marks the beginning of an annual national tradition dedicated to uplifting Mexican American identity and ensuring our story is told with accuracy, dignity, and celebration. 

The public is invited to learn more about the commemoration and the broader movement to establish February 2nd as Mexican American Heritage Day by visiting our website at  www.22-aztlan.org

Anunciamos la Conmemoración Nacional del Día de la Herencia Mexicoamericana

2 de febrero

San Antonio, TX — Organizaciones, académicos, artistas y líderes comunitarios mexicoamericanos de todo Estados Unidos anuncian el lanzamiento del Mexican American Heritage Day (Dos Dos), una conmemoración nacional que se celebrará anualmente el 2 de febrero a partir de 2026.

La Mexican American Heritage Day Association se enorgullece de designar el 2 de febrero como el Día de la Herencia Mexicoamericana. El lunes 2 de febrero, a partir de las 11 a. m., hora del este, se planea una celebración inaugural de un día completo para honrar la profundidad, la resiliencia y la vitalidad de la herencia, la cultura, la historia y la música mexicoamericanas, una identidad arraigada en siglos de presencia en este país.

El 2 de febrero tiene un profundo significado para nuestra comunidad. El 2 de febrero de 1848 se firmó el Tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo, que puso fin formalmente a la Guerra entre Estados Unidos y México y redefinió las fronteras de ambas naciones. Con ese tratado, las personas que vivían en los territorios recién anexados —nuestros antepasados— se convirtieron en la primera generación de lo que ahora llamamos mexicoamericanos. El Tratado prometía protección para nuestra tierra, cultura e idioma. Esas promesas no se cumplieron. Sin embargo, a pesar del desplazamiento, la discriminación y generaciones de lucha, resistimos. Nos reconstruimos. Prosperamos.

Hoy, los mexicoamericanos formamos parte integral de la esencia de Estados Unidos. Nuestras comunidades se extienden por todo el país y, en muchos estados, somos la presencia cultural dominante, moldeando el arte, el trabajo, la educación, la gastronomía, la música y la vida pública. Esta conmemoración reconoce no solo nuestra supervivencia, sino también nuestras contribuciones, nuestra creatividad y nuestro compromiso continuo con la justicia y el orgullo cultural.

El evento del 2 de febrero incluirá reflexiones históricas, presentaciones culturales, actuaciones musicales y diálogos comunitarios que honran nuestro pasado e inspiran a las generaciones futuras. Marca el inicio de una tradición nacional anual dedicada a enaltecer la identidad mexicoamericana y a garantizar que nuestra historia se cuente con precisión, dignidad y celebración.

Se invita al público a conocer más sobre la conmemoración y el movimiento para establecer el 2 de febrero como el Día de la Herencia Mexicoamericana, visitando nuestro sitio web: www.22-aztlan.org
