We keep Hispanic heritage alive because it plays a big part in american society. People who are of Mexican origin account for two thirds (34 million) of the nation’s Latinos. The U.S. Hispanic population is over 54.1 million people. A majority of Latino adults (55%) claim they are Catholic, while 16% are Protestants and 5% are mainline Protestants. Over 60% of Hispanics reside in Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties. (Pew Research)
