Every year from September 15 to October 15, Latinx Heritage Month is a time for the entire community to celebrate and come together from all our different nations, heritages, cultures, and most importantly, our histories. In school, many of us were not taught about the history of Latin America or the U.S. through a Latinx lens, which is a form of colonization and erasure that can make us believe that our histories don’t matter. While we should be expanding our knowledge throughout the year, there’s no better time than now to understand and learn more about where we come from, our successes and struggles and sacrifices, and the overall history of Latinidad.
