Beginning this Sept. 22 and continuing through Oct. 15, members of our Hispanic and Latin American communities are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month.

Originally just a weeklong celebration dating back to the late 1960s, former President Ronald Reagan signed into law an expansion of the event to a full month. The dates coincide with anniversaries of several Latin American countries' declarations of independence from Spain.

According to the U.S. census, more than 68 million people living in America identify as Hispanic, making the group the country's fastest growing racial or ethnic minority. The population is growing here in Baltimore as well. Census figures show that the city's Hispanic population grew by nearly 5% last year.

The city is also home to one of the country's largest Latin American festivals. The annual Fiesta Baltimore takes place the weekend of Oct. 4-5, featuring live music, dancing, art, food and more.
