Every year from September 15 to October 15, Americans celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month. The 2021 Hispanic Heritage Month theme, “Esperanza: A Celebration of Hispanic Heritage and Hope” invites us to celebrate Hispanic Heritage and to reflect on how great our tomorrow can be if we hold onto our resilience and hope. It also encourages us to reflect on all the contributions Hispanics have made in the past and will continue to make in the future.
