Hispanic Heritage Month is a celebration that takes place across the United States. It begins on September 15 and runs through October 15. The celebration was initially only a week long, but its duration was extended.
President Ronald Reagan played a role in this expansion, increasing the celebration to a month in 1988. This change allowed for a longer period of recognition and celebration.
