Columbus day

Columbus day is on Monday October 10. This day became an important day that countries in America celebrate Christopher Columbus. On this day he arrived to America. Since then October 10 has been known as Columbus Day. another way it is known is as “Dia De La Raza” and this day is celebrated on October 12. In 1906 in Colorado was when it first became a holiday. Later becoming a federal holiday in the United States in 1937. NYC and the US celebrated the 300th anniversary of his landing in the New World in 1792.   The holiday had been unofficially celebrated since the 18th century but became official in the early 20th century.

Reflection:

I believe that it is good that they celebrate this day. I think this because he is an important person because without him we would have never met the new world or would have been exposed to other things. Christopher Columbus played an important role in US history therefore i think it's okay to take a day of and celebrate him.
