Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15-Oct. 15) is a great time to learn more about Hispanic and Latinx experiences, challenges and contributions. Here at Kansas City PBS, we offer both local and national content that recognizes a wide variety of Hispanic stories and celebrates Hispanic culture and excellence. 

Kansas City PBS' own We Are Latinos: Discovering the Latino Community of Kansas City series continues in 2026 with three new profiles of Kansas City Latinos making a difference. We Are Latinos has been exploring the stories, hopes and accomplishments of the vibrant Kansas City Latino community since 2022. Watch previous episodes anytime, and see new content beginning Oct. 1 on our YouTube channel or on the PBS app.
