We Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month annually from September 15th to October 15th. The premise for Hispanic Heritage Month began as a way to promote the culture, history and contributions of Hispanic Americans. This includes ancestors who came from Mexico, Spain, Caribbean, and South and Central America. Hispanic Heritage Month original origins began with a commemoration introduced by Congressman George E. Brown in June of 1968.
The Awareness of multicultural groups living in the United States began to grow to astronomical numbers. Awareness of the multicultural groups living in the United States was also gradually growing.

The independence days of Chile and Mexico fall on September 16th, and 18th. Día de la Raza, known as Columbus Day falls on October 12th.
