拉美裔是美国最大的少数族裔——目前人口超过5,400万，并预计在2060年将达到1.288亿——这将占美国人口的三分之一。从9月15日到10月15日是全美拉美裔传统月(National Hispanic Heritage Month)，旨在彰显美国拉美裔的文化、传统和非凡贡献。拉美裔的祖先来自于西班牙、墨西哥，以及中美洲、南美洲和加勒比地区的西班牙语系国家。

Hispanics are the largest minority group in the U.S. — 54 million strong today and a projected 128.8 million by 2060 — a figure that would represent nearly 1 in 3 Americans. National Hispanic Heritage Month, September 15–October 15, honors the culture, traditions and extraordinary contributions of Americans who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico and the Spanish-speaking nations of Central America, South America and the Caribbean.

为庆祝拉美裔传统月，上海美国中心将放映1997年出品的传记片《塞琳娜》(Selena)，故事由真实事件改编，讲述了由詹妮弗·洛佩兹饰演的拉丁歌手塞琳娜从草根艺人成长为最炙手可热的拉丁艺人的经历。影片开始前，将由两位拉美裔的美国外交官和大家一起探讨塞琳娜留下的精神遗产以及她的经历对于年轻女性的意义。

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Shanghai American Center is screening the 1997 biographical drama Selena. Selena tells the true story of Selena Quintanilla-Perez (Jennifer Lozpez), a Texas-born Tejano singer who rose from cult status to performing at the Astrodome, as well as having chart topping albums on the Latin music charts. Before the film starts, two Hispanic-American diplomats will briefl‎y talk about Selena's legacy and what she meant to them as young women.

影片片长128分钟，英文对白，英文字幕。
