Each fall, we take time as a community to celebrate the Hispanic community, and recognize Hispanic Heritage Month. Hispanic Heritage Month happens each year from September 15, to October 15. Originally, the holiday was established to celebrate the independence of several central American countries. Now, we take time to celebrate the Hispanic community, with celebrations of a culture that brings so much vibrance, and color in every corner of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This month, we hope amongst all the fun the fall season brings, that you will take some time to celebrate the Hispanic community with us. There is a multitude of events happening around our city to celebrate the Hispanic community, you can find that list here<\/a>. This list includes tons of different ways to not only celebrate culture, but also reflect on the struggle and resilience of the Hispanic community here in the United States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With all the celebration, we also drafted a list of different reading materials to celebrate and educate ourselves on the beauties of Hispanic culture, and history that got us to the celebration of Hispanic Heritage month. This list, while not exhaustive, compiles a list of literature, both fiction, and non-fiction that details the Hispanic experience in the United States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This month is a month to not only learn and grow, but a month to celebrate, and connect with a community that brings so much life and value to our culture here at home. We cant wait to celebrate with you!<\/p>\n
