Yesterday I heard an article (NPR) about the background of Columbus Day as a holiday in the early 1900s and the pushback that began in earnest in the 1960s. Here's a story about the recent holiday designation (with a clever title "Goodbye, Columbus? Here's what Indigenous Peoples' Day means to Native Americans"). |
