Celebrando Nuestra Hispanidad: A Conversation with Latino Leaders
Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the histories, cultures, and contributions of the more than 60 million Latinos in the United States. Since our country’s founding, Latinos have made significant social, artistic, cultural, educational, literary, political and economic contributions to American life. Latinos have proudly enriched our nation’s competitiveness and prosperity throughout generations. Join us as we celebrate our culture, nuestra herencia, our diversity and our strength with a conversation with national Latino leaders.
