2022 Hispanic Heritage Month

 Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation


National Hispanic Heritage Month is from September 15th to October 15th and pays tribute to the generations of Hispanic Americans who have positively influenced and enriched America as a nation and society.


September 15th was chosen as the starting point for Hispanic Heritage Month because it is the anniversary of the Cry of Dolores or "Grito de Dolores," according to Carlos Olave, head of the Hispanic Reading Room at the Library of Congress. Grito de Dolores marked the start of the Mexican War of Independence and resulted in freedom for the New Spain Colony (now Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Nicaragua) in 1821. Hispanic Heritage Month.


This year's theme is "Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation," which roughly translates to united, connected, or close. A reminder that there is strength in unity and inclusivity. Acting Director of the Office of Civil Rights, Anzanette Randall, stated, "There are so many different backgrounds, cultures, and traditions—between and among the Hispanic diaspora and all demographics and affinity groups in this country—weave unique and beautiful threads into the fabric of society. The reference to unity in this year's theme does not mean we must strive to overcome or surmount our differences. Perceiving inclusion as an obstacle risks ignoring important pieces of people's identities and experiences. After all, we don't check our attributes at the door when we join an organization or walk into a federal building. We bring all our experiences with us. Inclusivity means actively welcoming and valuing differences, celebrating our uniqueness, learning from our diversity, and inviting each other to show up as our authentic selves".
