About National Hispanic Heritage Month
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.
The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402.
The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Da de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this 30 day period.
The Law Library of Congress has compiled guides to commemorative observations, including a comprehensive inventory of the Public Laws, Presidential Proclamations and congressional resolutions related to Hispanic American Heritage Month.
This Web portal is a collaborative project of the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and U.S. National Archives and Records Administration.

DALLAS (CBS 11 NEWS) A group of Orthodox Jewish families in a North Dallas neighborhood said they are in the fight for their religious freedom.
The neighborhood homeowners association is now suing the congregation of Toras Chaim for violating residential rules.
The feelings of the Highlands of McKamy neighborhood HOA are scattered throughout the streets. Signs posted in front yards have comments like, Keep Us Residential Only.
About 30 orthodox Jewish families worship here, said David Schneider, while standing outside his home. Its a full on synagogue.
The synagogue is operating just across the street from the home where Schneider lives. He and the HOA have filed a lawsuit.
Theyre breaking the rules. I would expect if the situation was reversed, somebody would do the same thing with me, he said. | Some residents, including Schneider, area also worried about traffic. Honestly, its pretty easy if youre not watching, said Schneider. You see people slide through a stop sign. Im scared someone might get hurt.
Lawyers for the congregation say what is truly being harmed is religious freedom. Liberty Institute attorney Jeff Mateer said, Its a bedrock First Amendment principle that people can worship in their homes.
Mateer said he and his team have filed a motion for dismissal on the ground of the First Amendment. There are lots of activities going on in other homes, but theyve singled out this Jewish group.
Schneider said the lawsuit has nothing to do with religion and he would feel the same way about a school or medical office. I wish them absolutely no ill will, he said, adding, I hope they relocate nearby. [The] closer the better as far as Im concerned.
