Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated from September 15th to October 15th, is a time to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the rich tapestry of the United States. While we celebrate this community's vibrant culture and heritage, addressing the gaps in historical narratives and elevating the voices of those often marginalized is crucial.

Springmont, like many communities across the country, likely holds a wealth of untold stories and unsung heroes within its Hispanic and Latino communities. This month presents an opportunity to reclaim and amplify their history by centering their stories, acknowledging their contributions, and learning about the wide range of cultures and geography connected to Hispanic and Latino Heritage.

By engaging in these actions, Springmont can move towards a more inclusive and accurate representation of its diverse history. This month catalyzes recognizing the powerful impact of the Hispanic community and ensures that their legacy is woven into the fabric of Springmont's identity.

This is not just about celebrating but about actively creating a future where every story is valued and every voice is heard.
