Hispanic Heritage Month kicked off this week celebrating the contributions of the Latinx community.

The diversity of that community in itself may be somewhat surprising, even for members of the Bay Area’s Latinx, Hispanic, Chicano and Afro-Caribbean communities themselves.

There are 15 million Latinos and Latinas in California, making up 39% of the state’s population. And the vast majority, 64%, are American born.
