Stories from the Spanish Perspective. Stories about, by, and/or for the Latino and Hispanic communities. Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central, and South America.
