'On Second Thought' Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month With Round Table Of Leaders

Hispanic Heritage Month is a federally designated event that runs
Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. It’s a time to celebrate how people with roots
in Spanish-speaking countries add to the complex narrative of the
American story. Hispanic food, fashion, architecture and art – as
well as the Spanish language itself – have become essential
elements in the American mix. Sometimes those contributions make a
pop-culture splash. The song, Despacito , tied Billboard’s record
for most weeks at the top spot after Justin Bieber remixed Luis
Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s reggaeton hit. Other contributions come
from teachers, doctors and families whose contributions grab less
attention than athletes and movie stars.
