Comics Plus created a Hispanic Heritage and Latinx Voices Collection
Have you wondered why Hispanic Heritage month doesn’t start at the beginning of the month? September 15th was chosen as the kickoff by President Johnson in 1968 because it coincides with the Independence Day celebrations of five “Central American neighbors,” as Johnson called them—Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Those five nations declared their independence from Spain on September 15, 1821
Comics Plus is celebrating this opportunity to recognize the achievements and contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans who’ve inspired others to achieve success with a special collection
