#HispanicHeritageMonth FACT Each year, Americans o #HispanicHeritageMonth FACT 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 and Central and South America. (hispanicheritagemonth.gov) For example, Mexican Independence Day coincides with Hispanic Heritage Month. . . Mexican Independence Day often gets overshadowed or confused with Cinco de Mayo, but they're not the same thing. On this day, Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo in 1810 delivered a midnight speech rallying Mexicans for independence and ringing the town’s church bells. The moment, is known as the "Grito de Dolores”which began the 11-year Mexican War of Independence. And every year, in commemoration, people gather at the Mexican National Palace in Mexico City to begin celebrations, hear the bells ring, and honor those who fought for the country’s independence. . . To our Mexican neighbors in Syracuse, Happy Independence. To all of our Hispanic/LatinX residents, Happy Hispanic Heritage Month.
