As you might have guessed, this revisionist interpretation of Columbus and the holiday honoring him has it’s origins in Berkeley. Concluding that Columbus was a bloodthirsty conqueror who killed countless Indians, the infamously liberal California town moved to abandon the holiday in 1992. Soon enough, other cities began to drop the holiday, predictably replacing it with others that celebrate multiculturalism and diversity. According to Breitbart:
“In 2014 Seattle formally threw out Columbus Day in favor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Breitbart News reported in October of this year that nine U.S. cities are making the move. Those cities include: Albuquerque, New Mexico; Portland, Oregon; St. Paul, Minnesota; Olympia, Washington.
A Denver woman told the Seattle Times that back in 1992 that a confrontational protest against the Denver Columbus Day parade blocked the parade route for several hours. Denver didn’t see another Columbus Day parade until the new millennium.
Other days replacing Columbus Day include Native American Day in South Dakota, and Discoverer’s Day in Hawaii that, according to History.com, celebrates Polynesian settlers.”
