Check out what's in store for this month-long in this 30-second teaser from the network.

According to its official website, the Hispanic Heritage Month 2015 is set to begin on September 15 and would end by October 15.

Initially, Hispanic heritage was commemorated for one week back in 1968 and was later expanded by the late U.S. President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period.

This celebration was created to commemorate the rich culture, history, and contributions of Americans whose ancestors hailed from the Latino community in Mexico, Spain, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

September 15 was chosen as the beginning of the event was significant in Latin American history because it is said to be the anniversary of independence of Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua while Mexico and Chile gained their independence on September 16 and 18, respectively.
