Hispanic Heritage Month

This year’s theme is: Esperanza: A Celebration of Hispanic Heritage and Hope.

The 2021 National Hispanic Heritage Month poster has the style of Graffiti Mural Art on a brick wall texture. Centered in the middle of the poster is the event theme. It reads: Esperanza: A Celebration of Hispanic Heritage and Hope. National Hispanic Heritage Month pays tribute to the generations of Hispanic Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America, and who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society.

The observation was enacted into public law on August 17, 1988, under President Ronald Reagan, since then it has been celebrated from September 15 to October 15.
