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.

                    I think we should celebrated because they were the ones who found America and Columbus just put a flag and said “I have found America.”

                      I think that Christopher Columbus Was not a good person for taking credit even though he knew that there were people here when he arrived
