Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey recently proclaimed Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 Hispanic Heritage Month in the state to celebrate the contributions and culture of the state’s residents with Hispanic lineage.
Ducey commemorated the monthlong celebration in a news release issued on the governor’s website, touting the importance of the celebration.
“This Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the many talents, diverse culture and vibrant spirit of our Hispanic friends and neighbors. Arizona’s rich Hispanic heritage is woven into the fabric of our state and is a driving force in making us a great place to live, work and play,” Ducey said in the news release.
Ducey noted the monthlong commemoration also celebrates the fact that Arizona has long proven to be a place of opportunity, according to the release.
“The entrepreneurial spirit and strong work ethic that have shaped our state are the very same qualities that define the Hispanic community,” he said in the release. “Their countless contributions to Arizona and their unwavering belief in the American Dream are an inspiration to us all.”
Ducey signed the proclamation Sept. 6, according to the release, citing more than a century of Hispanic culture in the state.
