AOL Latino is launching its special coverage of Hispanic Heritage Month, the annual four-week national celebration from September 15 to October 15.

Featured on AOL Latino’s dedicated Hispanic Heritage Month hub, the coverage will promote Hispanic culture in a variety of ways, including “Vive en Español,” a campaign dedicated to promoting the importance of Spanish language as a cultural touchstone in bilingual households.

AOL expanded into Latin America by launching sites in Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Venezuela and Mexico earlier this year and plans to expand into Brazil. In the U.S., AOL Latino is one of the top two bilingual portals for Hispanics with more than 2.2 million unique visitors.
