National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated annually from September 15 to October 15 in the United States. During this month, we honor the history, heritage, and achievements of Hispanic Latino Americans whose ancestors came from Latin American countries, the Caribbean, and Spain.

Since 1971, August 26th has been celebrated nationwide as Women’s Equality Day. This date in August was chosen to commemorate the 1920 ratification of the 19th amendment of the US Constitution, which provided American women the right to vote.

Today we honor the 31st anniversary of The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was signed into law on July 26, 1990. This vital civil rights legislation prohibits discrimination and guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as people without disabilities.
