Columbus Day, not a day to commemorate

1492

I have never liked Columbus and his "holiday". His feats of genocide and slavery are "celebrated" in Latin America on October 12th and in the USA (for convenience) on the following Monday, this month on the 14th. By chance I happened on this article by the American Humanist Association which explains it way better than I could:

Glorifying Genocide: Why I Won’t Be Celebrating Columbus Day

Are you celebrating? Why?
