Background of Hispanic Heritage Month

The origins of Hispanic Heritage Month trace back to 1968 when President Lyndon Johnson initially proclaimed a week in September to recognize Hispanic Americans. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan expanded the observation to a month-long celebration. The selected dates were chosen strategically, as several Central American countries mark their independence days around this time. Notably, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua celebrate their independence on September 15, while Mexico commemorates its independence on September 16. Chile celebrates its independence on September 18, and Belize on September 21.

The upcoming breakfast event is an integral part of honoring Hispanic culture and fostering community connections in Savannah, presenting an opportunity for both celebration and collaboration.
