What is Hispanic Heritage Month?
     National Hispanic Heritage Month is a month set aside in the United States to honor the achievements of Hispanics. The celebration takes place from September 15 to October 15 each year. It was first authorized as a weeklong observance in 1968. In that year the U.S. Congress adopted a resolution asking the president of the United States annually to issue a proclamation designating a week in September including September 15 and 16 as “National Hispanic Heritage Week.” In 1988 Congress expanded the celebration to a 31-day period beginning September 15. The resolution calls “on the people of the United States, especially the educational community, to observe National Hispanic Heritage Month with appropriate ceremonies and activities."

  2. When looking at art created by Black illustrators, designers, and painters, ask your child: What stands out to you first and why? What Black history story does this art tell you about or remind you of? Do the people look happy, sad, anxious? Why?
  3. Who are the Black heroes who have broken barriers in history and today?
  4. What is a role model? What Black role models helped to make the world a better place? How can you be a role model at school or in your neighborhood?
