GONZALEZ of San Antonio. It is in the tradition of our country to recognize. cherish and conserve the many cultural contributions of the people who have helped achieve the greatness of our Nation. It is high time that our immigrants and their descendants from Latin nations. as well as those citizens whose Spanish heritage and lineage within the current boundaries of the United States dates back to prepilgrim days. were honored in the same manner. The resolution asks that National Hispanic Heritage Week include the dates of September 15 and 16 because of the fact that Mexican Independence Day and Independence Day of other Latin American countries are celebrated on those days. In the case of persons of Mexican heritage now living in the United States. huge celebrations are held in the Southwestern States celebrating the holidays that go relatively unnoticed outside of the community.
