From Sept. 15-Oct. 15, the United States is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. You don’t need to be Hispanic to join the fiesta. In fact, it all comes down to learning! Celebrating allows us to acknowledge how the Hispanic communities have impacted our country. There are over 21 different Spanish speaking countries.
