Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated by Americans of all backgrounds, but primarily honors the history, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans—those whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. The celebration takes place from September 15 to October 15, overlapping with independence days of several Latin American countries, such as Mexico.






Supreme Court Justice Sonia Maria Sotomayo
June 25, 1954 (age 71) New York City, New York, U.S.
Spouse Kevin Noonan(m. 1976; div. 1983)
Education: Princeton University (BA) Yale University (JD)
Sotomayor was born in the New York City borough of the Bronx. Her father was Juan Sotomayor (c. 1921–1964), from the area of Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and her mother was Celina Báez (1927–2021), an orphan from Santa Rosa in Lajas, a rural area on Puerto Rico's southwest coast.
The two left Puerto Rico separately, met, and married during World War II after Celina served in the Women's Army Corps. Juan Sotomayor had a third-grade education, did not speak English, and worked as a tool and die worker; Celina Báez worked as a telephone operator and then a practical nurse. Sonia's younger brother, Juan Sotomayor, became a physician and university professor in the Syracuse, New York, area.
