It is one of the most over-celebrated and over-rated "holiday" events of the year. It represents dominance, genocide, greed and complete disregard of a people who had done no wrong and only offered their hospitality.
I'm currently reading "A People's History of the United States: 1492 - Present" by Howard Zinn. Zinn goes into extreme detail of the debauchery Columbus administers to find gold and claim territory in the name of God. This should be an American textbook for grammar and high schools. It can change adolescent thinking, teach humility, offer appreciation and expand the base of young smart students in America.
Watch these videos to have a better understanding of the Columbus Myth. It will be less than 10 minutes.
Tell your friends.
