Columbus Day Party

Columbus Day is a holiday celebrated in many countries in the America's commemorating the date of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World on Oct 12 1492. Since 1971, the holiday has been commemorated in the U.S. on the 2nd Monday in October. However, it is generally only observed today by banks, post offices, most government and schools. Some people oppose Columbus Day claiming his achievements are not worthy of a holiday celebration. They view it as a celebration of conquest and genocide. An estimated 85% of the Indian population was wiped out within 150 years of Columbus' arrival in America. This was due largely to disease such as small pox as well as seizure of the land. Americans love a reason to celebrate and Columbus Day is a good one!
