First of All: What is Hispanic Heritage Month?
Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 - October 15) is an annual celebration in the United States that honors the history, culture, and contributions of Americans whose ancestry can be traced to 20 countries and one territory — which includes Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Spain.
President Ronald Reagan established this month-long celebration in 1988 to recognize the contributions Hispanic & Latin American people have made to our country, and it’s still widely celebrated today!
Though we should never wait for an annual event or holiday to take pride in or celebrate someone’s ethnic background, Latinx and Hispanic Americans use this as an opportunity to honor their respective cultures and ancestral backgrounds.
Why You Should Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month At Work
Hispanic Heritage Month is an excellent opportunity to learn about the contributions of Hispanic and Latinx people throughout history.
It’s a time to reflect on the history of Latinx people in America, and it’s also a time to recognize that there is still work to be done to ensure that all people have equal opportunities.
So, let’s get into some of the best Hispanic Heritage Month ideas for your team!
