Hispanic Heritage Month has been celebrated in the United States since 1988, when President Ronald Reagan signed a law that officially recognized the presence of Latinos in the country and acknowledged the substantial contributions they have made to the U.S. society ever since the inception of the republic.
The 2022 Hispanic Heritage Awards, hosted by AL DÍA was created to recognize those contributions of the most accomplished Latinos to our region in the key areas of Health, Education, Science, Public service, the Arts and the Entrepreneurial Spirit, among others.
