problem. Okay. So um The proclamation reads Whereas in 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson introduced Hispanic Heritage Month to recognize and celebrate the independence of our neighbors in Central America and Mexico, and in 1988, President Ronald Reagan expanded the recognition period from one week to one month beginning September 15th through October 15th. And whereas the Hispanic and Latino communities in Matt, Mountain View, who call our city home and help Mountain View thrive, represent a diverse group with roots throughout Latin America and beyond, and many Latino residents also trace their heritage through to the original indigenous communities of Latin America and Africa. And whereas in recognizing and celebrating the achievements of our Hispanic and Latino community, we honor them and recognize all who have helped build in our state and city.
Ellen Kamei 5:21
They are civil rights. Leaders, community organizers, first responders, healthcare professionals, teachers, artists, athletes, entertainers, colleagues, and friends. Whereas the Hispanic and Latino communities have incalculable contributions to our neighborhoods and community in every sector of the economy, and we are a greater and more vibrant city because of them. Now, therefore, I, Ellen Kamei, mayor of the city of Mountain View, along with my colleagues on the city council, to hereby proclaim September fifteenth through October fifteenth has Hispanic Heritage Month in Mountain View. And Halika,
