4. 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--

5. Jaime Escalante, Educator
Born in Bolivia, he immigrated to the United States in search of a better life.
He worked odd jobs, taught himself English, and earned a second college degree.
He taught a group of troubled students at a violent Los Angeles high school.
In 1982, his largest class of students passed an AP Calculus test.
The testing company invalidated some of the tests because it believed that the students had cheated.
Escalante protested, saying that the students had been disqualified because they were Hispanic and attended a poor school.
A few months later, many of the students retook the test and passed.
