In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month—September 15 to October 15—the NPQ team is sharing a collection of stories we’ve published that honor the cultures and celebrate the contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans. The 2026 theme for Hispanic Heritage Month is “Unidos, Somos Más”,” or, “Together, We Are More.”

Unity does not require sameness. It means honoring distinct histories while recognizing shared struggles and collective power.

This month, explore NPQ stories about Latinx leadership, organizing, art, labor, community care, philanthropy, and movements for justice. These histories are central to understanding who has built this country—and who is remaking it now.
