Miami, FL, August 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The latest US Census figures mark a tipping point in the significance of Hispanic Heritage Month. Now numbering 50 million U.S. residents with buying power estimated at $1 trillion, Hispanic Americans are mainstream, and so are celebrations like Hispanic Heritage Month. In 1968, Congress authorized this month-long celebration of Latin culture and traditions, observed annually from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15.
Here are five compelling reasons why you should add this celebration to your annual calendar of events:
5. By the numbers.
By 2050, the Latin population of the United States is projected to be 132 million, constituting one-third of the nation’s population. Use the month to learn about the many valuable contributions from Latin culture that have been incorporated into American society.
4. Meet your new boss.
Latinos are highly entrepreneurial. Per the 2010 Census and the Department of Labor, Hispanic owned businesses in the U.S. increased by 44 percent, compared to 14.5 percent among other groups.
3. Culture Club.
From Diego Rivera to Dora the Explorer to Jennifer Lopez to the campaign to establish the Smithsonian American Latino Museum, the Latino cultural impact is omnipresent.
2. Let's Get Political.
The rise in U.S. born Latinos and greater turnout in elections welcomes a new wave of Hispanic leaders. By 2012, the number of registered Hispanic voters is estimated to surpass 20 million. Latinos will have a real impact on selecting our next President and other leaders.
