It’s Hispanic Heritage Month, and These Are Three Hispanic-Owned Brands You Need to Know
It’s Hispanic Heritage Month! September 15 to October 15 is a time to honor the history and contributions of Hispanic cultures to American business. While this is a great time to celebrate the significance, we recommend supporting Latino-owned brands all year long—just as we do with LGBTQ-, POC-, and AAPI-owned businesses.
Observation of Hispanic heritage started as a week-long celebration in 1968 under President Lyndon B. Johnson and was later extended to a month-long celebration by President Ronald Reagan in 1988. September 15 is the independence anniversary for Latin American countries El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras. The independence days of Mexico and Chile fall on September 16 and 18, while Dia de la Raza or Columbus Day also falls within this heritage month, on October 12.
