32nd Annual Hispanic Heritage Awards

This annual Hispanic Heritage Awards was established in 1987 by President Reagan to commemorate the creation of Hispanic Heritage Month in America. Since that time the Hispanic Heritage Awards are considered among the highest honors for Hispanics by Hispanics. Top Latino performers and personalities pay tribute to the Honorees from the stage. The Awards are unique in that celebrities take the stage along with educators, innovators, community and business leaders, elected officials, and others. The Awards are supported by nearly 40 national Hispanic-serving institutions who co-host the program.
