Over the last several years there has been a concerted effort to marginalize Columbus and Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples Day. All of this under the pretext that atrocities occurred because of Columbus coming to the Americas. History chronicles the actual events and the atrocities that took place post Columbus during the Cortez explorations.

I invite you to read Chapter 4 in Victor Davis Hanson’s book “The End of Everything” to get a true accounting of these events. In Massachusetts, the displacement of Columbus Day and replacing it with Indigenous Peoples Day has been accepted in 20 out of over 300 towns in Massachusetts. There was also legislation in the State house to have this change made state wide.
