National Hispanic Heritage Month September 15 to October 15   --Recognition of the contributions of Hispanic and Latin Americans to the heritage and culture of the United States--

Roberto Clemente Walker Originally from Puerto Rico, Roberto Clemente Walker came to the United States to play major league baseball in 1954. He spent his career as a right fielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Although he was an elite athlete, achieving over 3,000 base hits by the end of his career, Clemente faced racial bias in the United States. This led Clemente to become an advocate for Latino and Black players’ rights in baseball. He died in a plane crash in 1972, enroute to bring relief to earthquake-stricken Nicaragua. He believed in a life of serving others. “Any time you have an opportunity to make a difference in this world and you don’t, then you are wasting your time on Earth.” https://www.rd.com/culture/hispanic-americans-who-made-history/ Roberto Clemente Walker
