COLUMBUS DAY../today, 2nd monday in October

But the left wants to call it Indigenous Peoples' day because europeans, not americans, took this land eventually from the invaders who came in through the Bering Strait. They're not EVEN indigenous.

The self-righteous fury with which American Marxists destroyed Columbus statues in 2020 traces its origins to Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States, a book stocked with half-truths and historical distortions where Columbus is concerned. When demonstrators arrived at Marconi Plaza in South Philadelphia to protest the 20-foot-tall statue, or perhaps to topple it with ropes, neighborhood groups came out to defend it, some armed with bats and guns.

The legacy media in Philadelphia quickly jumped on the neighborhood groups and branded them as racists. It was a telling moment for the city.

Today, the Columbus statue in Marconi Plaza is boxed up in a wooden coffin until the city decides what to do with it. The Rizzo statue, by the way, is in storage.

The Marconi Plaza Columbus statue is the work of Italian sculptor Emanuele Caroni. It was originally made for the 1876 Centennial Exposition in the city’s Fairmont Park section, where it stood outside the U.S. Government Building. Dedicated on October 12, 1876, the statue was viewed by thousands of visitors to the Centennial, including poet Walt Whitman.

Although Columbus Day is technically a federal holiday, since 2020 130 cities in the United States have chucked the name for Indigenous Peoples Day (IPD). The trend was already in high gear in 2017 when TIME magazine reported that 55 cities had eliminated all references to Columbus Day, thanks mostly to Zinn, who died in 2010, and his devious “history.”

It was Zinn, after all, who said: “History is not about understanding the past but about changing the future.” His little book is now required reading in many high schools and colleges, despite numerous challenges to its credibility from (of all people) leftwing historians.

Sadly, academic attacks on Zinn have done nothing to curtail his influence. The most noteworthy of these attacks, Mary Grabar’s book, Debunking Howard Zinn, might as well have been published in a vacuum. Zinn’s popularity just keeps growing and growing.

The Zinn Education Project is a case in point.

This insidious online source is for schools and organizations that want to help in the abolition of Columbus Day. The site is also a marketplace for ‘Abolish Columbus Day’ stickers for your car and home. You can also download web banners and graphics for your local activist Unitarian Church or leftist community meeting.

Cool.

I'm listening to Curtis Sliwa on the local radio and he's broadcasting from the big parade today down 5th ave in NYC . He's tearing all these woke fools that have no history and no future that are attempting to wipe out Columbus Day and its meaning . He's bringing up the Italian America was named after , Amerigo Vespuci , the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus , and Giovanni Verrazano . NY and the Atlantic east coast was founded and mapped out by these noteworthy explorers and the citizens that settled here paid homege to them with statues , bridges and location in their memory . The special interest groups have all tried and failed to erase them and its just not going to happen - and its not just the Italians that are protecting this history .
I just wish the South would do the same with its deserved hero's
