Hispanic Heritage Celebration


*The event has already taken place on this date: Tue, 10/15/2024
From September 15 to October 15, we celebrate the significant contributions and cultures of Hispanic and Latino peoples in the United States. These dates signify the anniversary of independence days in the Latin American countries of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, as well as the independence days that occurred throughout the month in Mexico and Chile. Hispanic and Latino presence in New York goes back centuries, as early as 1613, when Juan Rodriguez became the first non-Native settler of present-day Manhattan.

New York State is known as a diverse cultural hub and is home to people of all backgrounds who contribute to the state’s legacy as a champion for equity. Nearly four million Hispanic or Latino people are part of the state’s social fabric. While some have resided here for generations and others are newer residents, they all contribute to meaningful change throughout the state.

This exhibit recognizes the 2024 National Hispanic Heritage Month theme, Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together, which celebrates “the spirit of innovation, resilience, and unity that define the Hispanic experience.” The individuals highlighted in this exhibition have improved educational standards, fought for civil rights, and brought new forms of entertainment to this state, enriching New Yorkers’ quality of life.
