WEST HARTFORD CELEBRATES HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTHÂ
Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. The observation started in 1968 under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. Today, 57.5 million people, or 18% of the American population, are of Hispanic or Latino origin.Â
