In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the designation of Hispanic Heritage Week. Two decades later, it was expanded to Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated each year between September 15 and October 15. The month offers special opportunities for businesses, government entities, and educational and community organizations to highlight the cultural and social contributions of the sixty-six million Latinos residing in the United States.
Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, also known as Latinx Month, with an event that combines intellectual substance and accessibility, as well as depth and an engaging style of delivery.
