Columbus Day No Reason to Celebrate
"In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue on a mission of plunder for Spain," writes Mary Annette Pember. "When he arrived here, he commenced the virtual annihilation of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. A culture and nation founded on the murderous, exploitive philosophy of this act has two choices: apologize and make reparations, or cunningly twist the facts and make it an opportunity for celebration."
