US cities and states are increasingly renaming Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day (Credit: Kotatv.com)

Celebrated annually on the second Monday in October, Columbus Day honors Italian explorer Christopher Columbus's discovery of America. However, the federal holiday, which will be observed on October 14, 2019, has long drawn criticism due to the European settlers' brutal treatment of the Native American people. It has also been argued that America had already been "discovered" by the indigenous people when Columbus arrived.

              what i learned in this article is that christopher columbus landed somewhere in asia in india and china and not the first european to discover america.

                  Know that Columbus got arrested by the king and queen of Spain. p.s. Not the first European to discover America either

                    I think we should call it Columbus Day because most people call it that.

                      i'm so glad some states actually changed the name and Columbus actually never set foot in america he only went to central america and the Caribbean.
