IMMIGRATION

Each year during Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrations across the U.S. usually showcase the diversity and cultures of Hispanic people.

Celebrated each year from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, the month is a chance for many in the U.S. to learn about and celebrate the contributions of Hispanic cultures, the country's fastest-growing racial or ethnic minority, according to the U.S. Census. The group includes people whose ancestors come from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.

More than 68 million people identify as ethnically Hispanic in the U.S., according to the latest census estimates.

This year, President Donald Trump's immigration crackdowns, federally led English-only initiative and anti-diversity, equity and inclusion push changed the national climate.
