National Hispanic Heritage Month
National Hispanic Heritage Months runs from September 15 – October 15. This week, visit The Smithsonian Latino Center which was created in 1997 to promote Latino presence within the Smithsonian. “The Center is not represented in one physical location; rather, it works collaboratively with the Institution’s museums and research centers, ensuring that the contributions of the Latino community in the arts, history, national culture, and scientific achievement are explored, presented, celebrated and preserved.”
