•La celebración del Mes de la Herencia Hispana se estableció en 1968, cuando el Presidente Lyndon B. Johnson declaró una semana en septiembre como la Semana Nacional de la Herencia Hispana. Esta celebración se extendió en 1988 a un mes entero, del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre, para honrar la herencia hispana de este país.
•Durante este mes, Estados Unidos celebra la cultura y las tradiciones de aquellos residentes que tienen sus raíces en España, México y los países hispanos de América Central, Sudamérica y el Caribe.
•Se eligió el 15 de septiembre para iniciar la celebración porque es la fecha en la que se celebra la independencia de cinco países latinoamericanos: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras y Nicaragua. Además, México celebra su independencia el 16 de septiembre y Chile el 18 de septiembre.
•El Mes de la Herencia Hispana es una oportunidad para dirigir la atención nacional a las contribuciones de la comunidad hispana a la sociedad estadounidense.
