Rep. Meeks Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month

New York, NY—Congressman Gregory W. Meeks released the following statement in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, which is celebrated from September 15th to October 15th:

"Diversity has long been essential to the fabric of our nation and, this Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the principles and people who make this country great. From Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to astronaut Ellen Ochoa, Hispanic Americans exemplify the tenacity and perseverance that define our nation.

"At its core, the American Dream is simple: with hard work and determination, anyone can succeed in America, no matter who you are or what you look like. Hispanic Americans have shown us the power of that dream, and it is everyone's responsibility to keep it alive for the generations to come."
