Happy Columbus Day!
Fun Historical Fact Time!

Did you know that Colorado was the first state to recognize Columbus Day as a holiday in 1905 and it wasn't officially a Federal holiday until 1934?

Nice work, Colorado!

"Columbus himself was responsible for the deaths of millions of Native Americans (estimates range between 1 and 3 million) in first 15 years of his colonization of the Caribbean[2][3], including entire peoples' such as the Taino[4] and the Arawak[5], and was the founder of the practice of slavery in the Americas."

seems rather divided. as if, some people have decided taht mr colmbus' exploits are not the golden fairy tales we were told as children.
