Hispanic heritage month/LatinX NYC 1920
2020's Hispanic Heritage Month is officially September 15-October 15 in the US. We at NY1920 want to take a moment to look back at some of our posts highlighting NYC's Latinx culture of 1920.
First, the first column of the chart below offers the census count of the 1920 Latinx population of NYC, a city of roughly 5.5 million, categorized by geographical origin.
