Hispanic Heritage Month begins on September 15th and ends on October 15th, and is a time in the United States for us to recognize and celebrate the contributions and influences of Hispanic Americans and their ancestors that came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. This celebration started back in 1968, and in 1988 was expanded by President Ronald Reagan to cover a 30-day period. September 15th was chosen specifically because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

Happy Labor Day! We are excited to enjoy a nice long weekend and celebrate Labor Day, as we honor and remember the contributions that workers have given to our society.

Did you know that in the late 1800’s there was massive unrest from the height of the Industrial Revolution in the USA, with the average American working 12-hour days 7-days a week just to make a basic living? In fact, many children as young as 5 years old even worked in factories, mines, and mill across the county. In an effort to repair the relationship with American workers, Congress passed an Act making Labor Day a legal holiday, and on June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed it into law.

Happy Women's Equality Day! On this day in 1920, the United States adopted the Nineteenth Amendment, granting women the right to vote in America, which helped pave the road to women’s equality. In a 2018 research update by @swetalk they found that only 13% of engineers are women. At KPG we are proud to say that 33% of our engineers are women, and almost 50% of our senior leadership are women!

Last week, a number of KPGers from our Tacoma office (Claire, Drew, Erick, Justin, Mallory, and Sam L.) decoded clues and hit the streets in support of @downtownonthego’s 2021 Scavenger Hunt.
