National Hispanic Heritage Month:

September 15-October 15, 2016

Starting in 1968 as National Hispanic Heritage Week and incorporating September 15 and 16, the independence days for Central American nations and Mexico, respectively, the period was expanded in 1988 to National Hispanic Heritage Month. Each year the National Council of Hispanic Employment Program Managers and the Hispanic Foundation select a theme for the month and commission a poster to reflect that theme.
