HISPANIC HERITAGE
The University of Arizona today kicks off "Hispanic Heritage Month." There are a number of planned activities to honor the month, established in 1968 as week and expanded to a month in 1988.
Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the culture and traditions of U.S. residents who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico and other countries in Latin America.
UA activities include artists' receptions, panel discussions, speakers, film screenings, book signings and other events.
The first big event is scheduled for Monday with Mariachi music on the UA Mall from noon until 1 p.m. That celebration will include announcements on activities planned for the month.
