El Mes de la Herencia Hispana se celebra durante la segunda quincena del mes de septiembre y la primera quincena del mes de octubre y comenzó como una forma de promover la historia, la cultura y los aportes de los hispanos, específicamente de aquellos cuyas familias vinieron de España, México, el Caribe, Centroamérica y Suramérica, en el evento las comunidades resaltan los logros de los hispanos y latinoamericanos con festivales y actividades educativas.

HISTORIA DEL MES DE LA HERENCIA HISPANA

Todos los años, del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre, los estadounidenses celebran el Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana, donde se aprecia la historia, el patrimonio y las contribuciones a la comunidad por parte de los antepasados de los ciudadanos estadounidenses que vinieron de México, España, el Caribe, Centroamérica y Suramérica.

El Mes de la Herencia Hispana comenzó originalmente con una semana de conmemoración, cuando fue inaugurada por el congresista George E. Brown en junio de 1968. Con el movimiento de los derechos civiles; la necesidad de reconocer las contribuciones de la comunidad latina, ganó fuerza en la década de 1960. La conciencia de los grupos multiculturales que viven en los Estados Unidos también ha ido creciendo gradualmente.

Brown representó dos áreas densamente pobladas por latinos e hispanos, el Valle de San Gabriel y el este de Los Ángeles. Su objetivo era reconocer el papel integral de estas comunidades en la historia estadounidense. La celebración de la Semana de la Herencia Hispana comenzó en 1968 bajo la presidencia de Lyndon B. Johnson y luego se extendió a una celebración de 30 días por parte del presidente Ronald Reagan, comenzando el 15 de septiembre y terminando el 15 de octubre. Se convirtió en ley mediante la aprobación de la Ley Pública 100 -402 el 17 de agosto de 1988.

El 15 de septiembre se estableció como el primer día del Mes de la Herencia Hispana, por ser una fecha importante, donde se celebra la independencia de los países latinoamericanos El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua y Honduras; los días de independencia de México y Chile caen el 16 y el 18 de septiembre, respectivamente. El Día de la Raza o actualmente llamado Día de la Diversidad Cultural, Día de la Resistencia Indígena, etc. también cae dentro de este mes, el 12 de octubre.

La comunidad hispana ha sido parte integral de la prosperidad de los EE. UU. Sus contribuciones a la nación son inconmensurables y representan lo mejor de los valores estadounidenses dejando una huella imborrable en la cultura y la economía de los Estados Unidos.

TRADICIONES DEL MES

El Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana tradicionalmente honra la cultura y las contribuciones tanto de los latinos como de los hispanoamericanos, se celebra la historia y los logros de estos grupos en la conformación del país.

El mes se celebra de muchas maneras debido a que otras festividades culturales se llevan a cabo durante el mismo período —como el día de la independencia de varios países latinoamericanos— conciertos, desfiles, festivales gastronómicos y más se organizan en todas partes; también se llevan a cabo eventos educativos como exposiciones de arte donde se destaca a los héroes latinos en la historia.

El gobierno de los Estados Unidos honra las incontables contribuciones de los hispanoamericanos a nuestra economía, cultura y sociedad.

Hispanic Heritage Month 2022

The idea for Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated throughout the latter half of September and the first half of October, began as a way to promote the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic-Americans — specifically, those whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Communities mark the achievements of Hispanic and Latino Americans with festivals and educational activities.

Hispanic Heritage Month is observed annually from September 15 to October 15. It is a time to appreciate and celebrate the colorful cultures, rich histories, and diversity of the American Latino community.

HISTORY OF HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Every year from September 15 to October 15, Americans celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month by appreciating the community’s history, heritage, and contributions of the ancestors of American citizens who came from Mexico, Spain, the Caribbean, and South- and Central America.

Hispanic Heritage Month originally started with one week of commemoration when it was first introduced by Congressman George E. Brown in June 1968. With the civil rights movement, the need to recognize the contributions of the Latin community gained traction in the 1960s. Awareness of the multicultural groups living in the United States was also gradually growing.

Two heavily Latinx and Hispanic populated areas, the San Gabriel Valley and East Los Angeles, were represented by Brown. His aim was to recognize the integral roles of these communities in American history. Observation of Hispanic Heritage Week started in 1968 under President Lyndon B. Johnson and was later extended to a 30-day celebration by President Ronald Reagan, starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law via approval of Public Law 100-402 on August 17, 1988.

September 15 is set as the starting date for the month as it is important for many reasons. It is the independence anniversary for Latin American countries El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras. From here onwards, the independence days of Mexico and Chile fall on September 16 and September 18, respectively. Dia de la Raza or Columbus Day also falls within this month, on October 12.

Hispanic Americans have been integral to the prosperity of the U.S. Their contributions to the nation are immeasurable, and they embody the best of American values. The Hispanic-American community has left an indelible mark on the U.S. culture and economy.

TRADITIONS OF THE DAY

National Hispanic Heritage Month traditionally honors the culture and contributions of both Latino and Hispanic Americans. The history and accomplishments of these groups in the shaping of the country are celebrated.

The month is celebrated in a plethora of ways. As several other celebratory holidays fall during this month — such as the independence days of several Latin American countries — concerts, parades, food fairs, and more are organized throughout. Educational events like art exhibitions take place as well, highlighting important Latino heroes in history.

The U.S. government honors the immeasurable contributions of Hispanic Americans to our economy, culture, and society.
