In recognition of National Hispanic Heritage Month, the South Carolina Commission for Minority Affairs (SCCMA) will celebrate Hispanic and Latino culture and history through its Celebra La Herencia Hispana social media campaign.
“Hispanic Heritage Month is a great opportunity for us to honor the contributions of Hispanics and Latinos and their impact on society,” said Dr. Delores Dacosta, Executive Director for the SC Commission for Minority Affairs. “It’s important that we recognize these heritage months so that everyone has the opportunity to learn about their rich history.”

The campaign, which was organized by the agency’s Hispanic/Latino Affairs Division, will feature recipes, historical figures, languages, and music from Afro Latino and Indigenous communities.
Messages will be posted to the agency’s Facebook (@southcarolinaminorityaffairs) and Instagram (@sccfma) pages through October 15.
