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 Society of St. Tammany 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 Day a national holiday. It became a federal holiday in 1971 under President Richard Nixon.
Indigenous People’s Day
Sadly, Columbus Day was replaced by Indigenous People’s Day from 2020 to 2025, a holiday dedicated to honor victimhood and divide Americans. But luckily President Trump has changed the name back from Indigenous People’s Day to Columbus Day.
Columbus Day today…
There is a big celebration in New York each year for Columbus Day, which features loads of floats. Not only do the floats celebrate Christopher Columbus, but his Italian heritage as well. On October 12th in New York’s Little Italy, the streets lined with floats of ships and are covered in red, white, and green to celebrate Italian Americans.
