Palm Bay Personal Injury Attorneys of Alpizar Law Support National Hispanic Heritage Month

Palm Bay, FL – Alpizar Law is proud to support Hispanic Heritage Month. Attorney O. John Alpizar, of Cuban descent, understands and knows the significance of family origin and cultural heritage, including language, beliefs and customs, cultural needs and more of the Hispanic community. This year’s theme for Hispanic Heritage Month is “Heritage, Diversity, Integrity and Honor: The Renewed Hope of America”.

Hispanic Heritage Month is dedicated to recognizing the contributions of Hispanic Americans to the United States and celebrate the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.

The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week, approved by President Lyndon Johnson and expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. September 15 was chosen as the star date for the celebration because it is the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. They all declared independence in 1821. In addition, Mexico, Chile and Belize celebrate their independence days on September 16, September 18 and September 21, respectively.
