Unsung Hispanic Leaders Who Shaped U.S. History

As we wrap up Hispanic Heritage Month 2025, it is important to reflect on the rich history and lasting contributions Hispanics have made to our nation. All too often, the key figures and events that shaped this country are overlooked or forgotten.

Take, for example, Admiral David Farragut—one of the most legendary figures in American naval history. While his battlefield brilliance is widely recognized, few know that Farragut was of Hispanic descent, born to a Spanish immigrant father who had also fought for American independence.

Farragut’s rise as the first admiral in U.S. Navy history is more than a story of military genius; it is a testament to Hispanic contributions to American leadership and a powerful reminder that diversity has been central to the nation’s strength from the very start.

Latino GDP Hits Record $4.1 Trillion, the 5th Largest Economy in the World

Latinos have once again powered major growth in the U.S. economy. According to the 2025 U.S. Latino Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Report, produced by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Cal Lutheran, the total economic output of Latinos in the United States reached $4.1 trillion in 2023, up from $3.7 trillion in 2022.

To put that in perspective, if the U.S. Latino GDP were its own country, it would rank as the fifth-largest economy in the world, surpassing the United Kingdom, India, and France.
