National Hispanic Heritage Week,
1974
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Our country's Hispanic heritage reaches back more than four cen-
turies. When the Pilgrim Fathers landed at Plymouth Rock, Hispanic
civilization was already flourishing in what is now Florida and New
Mexico. Since then the Hispanic contribution to America has been a
consistent and vital influence in our country's cultural growth.
More than ten million Americans of Hispanic origin today contribute
to our national diversity, enriching the quality of American life in the
arts, the sciences, sports, religion and the small but important things of
everyday living.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United
States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning September 10,
1974, and ending September 16, 1974, as National Hispanic Heritage
Week. I call upon all the people of the United States, especially the
education community and those organizations concerned with the pro-
tection of human rights, to observe that week with appropriate cere-
monies and activities.
In celebrating this occasion, I also call upon my fellow Americans to
rededicate themselves to the principle of full and equal opportunity for
all citizens, and to seize upon the broad spectrum of skills and abilities
of those individuals of Hispanic heritage who have SO significantly con-
tributed to our Nation's growth and prosperity.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth
day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four,
and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hun-
dred ninety-ninth.

National Hispanic Heritage Week,
1975
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Men and women of Hispanic origin-Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans,
Cubans and other Spanish Speaking Americans-have contributed significantly to
the growth of America. They have served with courage and distinction in our
Armed Forces. In endeavors as varied as music, architecture, medicine, law, educa-
tion, literature and religion, Hispanic-Americans have contributed wisdom, beauty
and spiritual strength.
No manner of tribute to our country's Hispanic heritage could be more appro-
priate in this Bicentennial year than to acknowledge the importance of the Spanish
contribution to the success of our own War of Independence. Spanish-led military
forces protected the Colonies' southern front and kept the Mississippi River open for
navigation and the delivery of supplies to the Americans in the southwest. Don
Bernardo de Galvez, Spanish Captain General and Governor of Spanish Louisiana,
led these successful campaigns and, in 1781, captured the heavily fortified city of
Pensacola from the British.
The assistance to our Revolution from Galvez and the Hispanic troops he
commanded has not always received the recognition it deserved in our history books.
But the name Galvez has enjoyed commemoration through the Texas city we know
as Galveston.
We can look forward to discovering other contributions from the Hispanic
civilization SO long and well established in our land and from the millions of
Americans of Hispanic origin who enrich our society.
The Congress, by a joint resolution approved September 17, 1968 (82 Stat.
848), requested that a period in September be annually designated in recognition
of that heritage.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United
States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning September 14, 1975,
as National Hispanic Heritage Week. I call upon the people of the United States,
especially the educational community, to observe that week with appropriate
ceremonies and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of
September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-five, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundredth.

National Hispanic Heritage Week, 1976
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
The America whose Bicentennial we celebrate this year was created and made
great by the efforts of people who came to the shores of the new world in search of
a future in which their opportunity would be determined by their own industry and
desire to make better lives for themselves and their children. At the same time, they
brought to this continent their own cultural heritage and, in so doing, contributed
immeasurably to the formulation of the American spirit and character.
America's Hispanic heritage was strong even before we achieved our independ-
ence. Men and women of Hispanic origin fought in the Revolutionary War and in
subsequent conflicts. They have enriched our culture, arts and scholarship. They
have used their talents to help America build a society based on ideals of freedom
and equality.
This year is also the sesquicentennial of the Inter-American System, begun 150
years ago with the Congress of Panama. America's Hispanic heritage strengthens
the ties of friendship and interdependence that bind the nations of the hemisphere.
In celebrating it, we celebrate our mutual commitment to peace and amity.
In recognition of the invaluable contributions to our society of men and women
of Hispanic origin, the Congress, by joint resolution approved September 17, 1968
(36 U.S.C. 169f) has requested the President to issue annually a proclamation desig-
nating the week including September 15 and 16 as National Hispanic Heritage Week.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States
of America, do hereby designate the week beginning September 12, 1976, as National
Hispanic Heritage Week. I call upon the people of the United States, especially the
educational community, to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and
activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of

pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and first.
