Bishop, Jr. (GA-02) released the following statement in recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 to October 15. Hispanic Heritage Month is dedicated to celebrating individuals with roots that trace back to Spain, Mexico, and the Spanish-speaking nations in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean and recognizing the positive contributions that they have made to American culture and society. Tomorrow marks the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month, a time to honor the lasting and positive impact that individuals of Hispanic and Latino heritage have had on America. Hispanics and Latinos are parts of the fabrics that are woven into America's colorful and unique tapestry. As one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in the nation, people of Hispanic and Latino ancestry serve in our communities as teachers, doctors, farmers, business owners, elected officials, service members in our Armed Forces, and in so many other ways. Moreover, their impeccable influence on music and art is evident in both our culture and our society. As I have said before, our nation is one of democratic ideals and noble values, and we must continue to show the world that we have an open-minded and inclusive culture that encourages everyone to reach his or her fullest potential. As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, let us look forward to working together to keep the American dream in reach for all those who seek it because there is beauty and strength in diversity and, when interlaced, these elements are what make our nation great.
