National Hispanic Heritage Month: Celebrating Our Latin-American Children’s Book Authors
National Hispanic Heritage Month is an annual observation that began in 1968 and runs from September 15th until October 15, 2024
National Hispanic Heritage Month
Unlike Asian-Pacific, Black, and women’s history months, which all begin at the start of a given month and end on its last day, National Hispanic Heritage Month runs from the middle of September to the middle of October due to the culturally significant events that took place between these dates. September 15th is the anniversary date of independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, while September 16th and September 18th are the anniversary dates for Mexico and Chile, respectively. Hispanic Heritage Month ends three days after Dia de la Raza, October 12th, which marks the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas.
