History of Columbus Day…
This is the entire history of Columbus Day. As an expert on the man, let me enlighten you.
The Early Columbus Days
The first Columbus Day celebration was on October 12, 1792 in New York City, where the World’s Colombian Society erected an obelisk to Columbus’ memory. The next Columbus Day celebration occurred a century later in 1892 when Benjamin Harrison, the president of the United States, dedicated the holiday after a lynching of eleven Italian immigrants in New Orleans created an uproar. There was a big exhibit devoted to Columbus in Chicago that drew crowds of Italian supporters, and replicas of his three ships were recreated in his honor. Then in 1937, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt declared Columbus a national holiday.
