LinkLinks NPR: Columbus Day Or Indigenous Peoples’ Day? By Editor On Oct 14, 2019 Last updated Oct 14, 2019 43 Share On Monday in the nation’s capital, there is no Columbus Day. The D.C. Council voted to replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day in a temporary move that it hopes to make permanent. Several other places across the United States have also made the switch in a growing movement to end the celebration of the Italian explorer in favor of honoring Indigenous communities and their resiliency in the face of violence by European explorers like Christopher Columbus. 43 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
