San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors voted 10-1 Tuesday to designate the second Monday in October as Italian American Heritage Day. The move came after a board vote in January to rename the former Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples Day drew protests from Italian Americans. Italian American community groups began collecting signatures to overturn the legislation by Supervisor Malia Cohen with a ballot measure.
But in the end they got what they wanted, preserving the day as a time to celebrate Italian heritage. The board approved in a 10-1 vote Tuesday legislation introduced by Supervisor Catherine Stefani “to declare the second Monday in October each year to be Italian American Heritage Day, in addition to Indigenous Peoples Day.”
