From September 2009
=========================
This is a from the September 2009 diversity calendar where we provided information about Hispanic Heritage Month. Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from the 15th of September through the 15th of October. The first image is what it looked like originally. The second is with some slight edit for readability.
The info from this image snap:
Hispanic Heritage Month begins on September 15, the anniversary of independence for five Latin American countries—Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico declared its independence on September 16, and Chile on September 18.
The term Hispanic, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, refers to Spanish-speaking people in the United States of any race. On the 2000 Census form, people of Spanish/Hispanic/Latino origin could identify themselves as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, or "other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino." More than 35 million people identified themselves as Hispanic or Latino on the 2000 Census
If you'd like more specific information about the countries generally featured, go watch—and pause as needed—my video of the Celebration at Work for Hispanic Heritage Month, which took place on September 17, 2008.
