National Hispanic Heritage Month is annually celebrated from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 for recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States.

As the Hispanic population continues to grow in Florida, we take a look at how state, county and local communities are working to integrate and celebrate this growing population.

Guests:

• Martha Santiago [R], District 4, Polk County Commission
• Anthony Suárez, attorney / former Florida State Representative (1999-2000)
