Hispanic Heritage Month is here. Here’s what it is, when it ends, why it starts Sept. 15

Why does Hispanic Heritage Month start in mid-September and span two months?

Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to reflect on the valuable contributions of the Hispanic community and the important role they play in the US. Last week, we proudly recognized eight Illinoisans leading the way in business, community service, athletics, the arts, and more. Hear what they had to say about this month’s significance. | Treasurer Michael Frerichs
