National Hispanic Heritage Month
October is LGBTQ+ History Month! This month celebrates the contributions the LGBTQ+ community has made to U.S. society and culture, and honors the history of the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
LGBTQ+ History Month was founded in 1994 by Rodney Wilson, the first openly gay public school teacher in Missouri. The month of October was selected due to its historical significance to the LGBTQ+ community - LGBT Marches on Washington were held on October 1979 and 1987, and October 11 is National Coming Out Day.
