Good afternoon, and welcome to the CFTC’s 2018 Hispanic Heritage Month Program.  Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.   We show our “respeto”…a Spanish word with deep meaning … a respect for the experience and contributions made by Hispanic Americans, who have made our nation nobler, better, more diverse, and  stronger.   As the great Mexican novelist, Carlos Fuentes, observed “Cultures only flourish in contact with others.”  And we flourish by observing Hispanic Heritage Month.  Through honoring Hispanic Americans, in Fuentes words, “we honor ourselves…. We find ourselves.”  We give to each other.  He said each of us look “into the mirror.”
