Hey, did you know that this month is Hispanic Heritage Month? No, I didn't. When does it start? Hispanic Heritage Month starts on September 16th to October 15th. What is Hispanic Heritage Month? Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the cultural heritage of people from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America and those with ancestors from these regions. Are there any famous people of Hispanic descent? Yes, a lot of people actually. Can you give me some examples? I'm sure you're familiar with Rita Cola, who is Hispanic. I don't remember who she is. Would you mind telling me about her? Yes, Rita Cola was a wonderful Mexican painter. One of her most famous paintings is called the Two Fritas. She sadly passed away on July 13th, 1954. Is there anybody else? Eleanor Choa is another person who should be on the list. She was the first Hispanic woman to go to space. She also played the flute while she was in space, which is pretty cool. That's cool. What are some fun facts about Hispanic Heritage Month? Hispanic Heritage Month started in 1968 under President Lyndon Johnson when it was a one week event. President Ronald Reagan expanded it to a 30 day period in 1988. Wow, that's so awesome.
