National Hispanic Heritage Month

From September 15th to October 15th, the United States joins together in celebration of the rich heritage, culture and contributions of Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America for National Hispanic Heritage Month.

According to the National Hispanic Heritage Month web site, 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 Día de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this 30 day period.”

The Huffington post is celebrating by paying tribute to none other than Frida Kahlo with a photo gallery of some of Frida’s most iconic moments.
