Hispanic Heritage Month
Help us celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month!
We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15) to recognize the achievements and contributions of Hispanic American champions who have inspired others to achieve success. The observation began 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. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988 (National Archives).
Check out our library display featuring books from the collection. We will also have opportunities for you to participate in live-streamed documentaries hosted by Galveston College Library via Zoom, live concerts, and other free online events from the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress.
