September 15 was chosen for the starting point for the celebration of Hispanic Heritage month because that was the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries.

America is 60% hispanic compared to 45% of Caucasians and 50% of African Americans, so the hispanic and latino population is growing more and more in America. Also besides english, spanish is the #2 language in America.

Spain has been the center of culture in Europe for thousands of years. Spain is an astonishing place with rich heritage and lively festivals and art.

Race and ethnicity are the occasionally have been used interchangeably. Race is described as a person’s physical appearance such as skin color, eye color, hair and many other biological traits and characteristics.

throughout all of the United States. We have many different people that migrated here from all types of countries and from all of the continents. The main culture I will be talking about today in my interviews is the Mexican culture. The Latino culture contains many sub cultures including many South American countries and Central America. This will be an in depth interview of Mexican culture, but it is only a small fraction compared to the amount of different cultures we have in our country today.
Approximately 1 in 6 individuals are Hispanic in the United States, and the population is expected to grow to 1 in 4 by 2035 (CDC, 2015). Given that, Hispanics are the biggest minority group in the US (CDC, 2015). The leading cause of death among the Hispanic population is heart disease and cancer responsible for around 2 out of 5 deaths (CDC, 2015). Hispanics have a 50% greater chance of death resulting from diabetes or liver disease than whites (CDC, 2015). Additionally, there are 3 times as more uninsured Hispanics than whites (CDC, 2015).

I my eyes being Hispanic means any number of things to me but above all being Hispanic means that I’m part of a community and a culture who works are and is always successful in all that they do. Being Hispanic is always being proud of who you are, where you come from and all that you have regardless of how little or how much. But perhaps one of the most beautiful things about being Hispanic is our culture, our community, and our beliefs as a culture we look out for each other and respect each other we do our best to build a community and a family everywhere we go.
To me a community is a group of individuals that come together to help and protect each other. For me the Hispanic community is where I belong. A family is a stronger more familiar version of a community because it’s filled with people who you’ve known for the longest and you can really trust them. An identity that’s the way you see yourself or the way you think, act, and even your name are a part of what makes up your identity and for me that’s Ivan. I fit into the Hispanic community by taking part in traditional Hispanic celebrations,music,cooking,and speaking Spanish.
I have chosen the Hispanic population to discuss and explore what issues and health concerns are most prevelant within this community. The Hispanic population is one of the largest and fastest growing racial minorities in the United States. Growing at such a staggering rate in the year 2015 it was estimated that the number calculated was around 15million. Making up 17% of the nations population the numbers are only expected to expand even larger come the year 2060 to at least 29% ( Barrera G.A , Lopez H. M, 2015). What makes this population so unique is that under the cultural Hispanic umbrella you also have Latinos, European, African and Native American. When it comes to social economics issues they experience a high rate of poverty, unemployment,
The Chicano Civil Rights Movement was a movement in response to segregation against Razas, or Chicanos, specifically.
Edna Rivas Professor Barbosa CHS 101 12 October 2017 The Chicano and Black Movement It is no surprise that the American Government has broken many promises that they have made to other countries, and particularly speaking other races. Due to the many broken promises and discrimination, many groups decided to fight back and start movements to get their rights and promises back.

For decades, immigrants have surrounded the United States with culture and diversity. In these states filled with Latinos, we see a lot of rich culture with food, music, fashion, and achievements. Latinos have a huge impact on movements and policies that happened in the United States for years. Starting with marches, protests, walkouts, laws, and policies.

The Chicano movement comes to a stop in south Texas where Mexican Americans students protested at their schools for discriminated against them (Barrera 1). The Mexican Americans were being discriminated by teachers, low grades for tests and overall grades in class and segregation of schools (Barrera 1). The Chicano students boycotted the schools by walking out refusing to return unless things changed (Barrera 2). They wanted the schools to notice the problems and make changes to improve the student’s life at the schools (Barrera 2).

Another way this is similar because the Asian American strikes is refusing to attend school and the Chicano
The Civil War brought the abolishment of slavery, but even though slavery was no longer, African Americans were still being discriminated against because of their skin color. Racial discrimination gave disadvantages to Southern blacks of getting decent jobs, going to decent schools, and their rights as in citizen such as voting and equal treatment in public. African Americans in the North had their legal rights, but they still suffered from widespread discrimination such as school segregations.
