That is the change we believe in, and the change we work to achieve.<\/strong> We are proud to occupy nearly the same tenure of American Hispanic and Latino pride, as that of Hispanic Heritage Month. NHCOA was first conceived in 1969, just one year after the introduction of Hispanic Heritage Month. As we reflect on over 50 years of service, we are struck by these +50 years of Hispanic Heritage Month, and the theme that it celebrates this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fdfa29d7920586d7ebe56f0774234621 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><strong>Hispanics and Latinos have a long history of making a difference in the United States.<\/strong> Hispanic Heritage Month is here and NHCOA has a full program of events and activities to celebrate!
