Constitution Day
Constitution Day is a federal observance that recognizes the signing of the United States Constitution.
On September 17, 1787, the Constitution was signed by the delegates to the United States Constitutional Convention at the State House in Philadelphia, the same place where the Declaration of Independence had been signed 11 years earlier.

Hispanic Heritage Month
The origins of this celebration date back to 1968, when it was first observed as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson.
It was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15, and was officially enacted as a law that same year.
