The Latino 10: Recognizing 10 innovators as Hispanic Heritage Month begins

These 10 Americans had quite a year of national recognition and growth, and they have one thing in common: Their Hispanic heritage is intrinsically tied to their work.

In a year of political polarization fueled by a presidential election, we’re marking Hispanic Heritage Month by focusing on 10 Americans who have received major recognition or seen their work and influence grow in 2024. While they do vastly different work, they all have one thing in common: Their Latino heritage proudly informs their expertise and their outlook — as well as their commitment to making things better.
