20 Instagram Captions to Show Your Hispanic Heritage Month Pride

Each year, Hispanic Heritage Month runs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 and celebrates the many contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans whose families are from Spain, Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean.

What started as a one-week observation under President Lyndon Johnson is now a month-long celebration that keeps getting bigger and more festive as the Hispanic and Latinx population in America continues to prosper.

If you’re rightly proud of your heritage, this month is the perfect time to let the world know. Social media is a great place to display your pride, educate your followers, and show solidarity with the community. And while a social media post is nice, the right caption is everything.

Here are some quotes and inspirational phrases to help you articulate your feelings about the contributions of the Hispanic and Latinx community.
