September 15-October 15 is National Hispanic American Heritage Month. This is a time where we honor and pay tribute to the generations of Hispanic Americans who have helped shape our nation. Hispanic Heritage Month offers us an opportunity to reflect on the vital contributions Hispanic Americans have made to culture, politics, science, cuisine, and society as a whole.
