Two decades later, President Ronald Reagan expanded it to a month-long recognition. The first Hispanic Heritage month was celebrated in 1989. Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated annually from September 15 through October 15 and honors the cultures, countries, and legacies of the Latin American, Central American, And Carribean communities.
