Hispanic Heritage Month

    Today marks the first day of Hispanic Heritage Month; it was started as Hispanic Heritage Week by President Lyndon Johnson in 1968 and expanded in 1988 by President Ronald Reagan. It starts on September 15 because that is Independence Day for many Latin American countries such as Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua1. Throughout the month there will be posts to celebrate and encourage people to learn more about Hispanic culture. If you want a head start, it looks like NBC started the month of with a Hispanic Heritage Month Quiz!

    Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! :)
