SUMMARY ABOUT "COLUMBUS DAY IN THE US SEES CELEBRATION AND PROTEST

In the 2nd Monday of every Octobers is Christopher Columbus day and there is no work and no school. It's a national holiday and people celebrate that Christopher Columbus discovered America. For this reason, in the US, Columbus means America.
However, there are different point of views from the people on the US about Christopher Columbus days. It’s a day commemorating two narratives of history with two different ideas of how Columbus achieved the western development of the Americas. For Indigenous people of the Western Hemisphere, the landing of Columbus in the new world has another meaning; one that welcomes protests every year. They say sentences like: “To show to Latin Americans and other people, that we don’t all celebrate Columbus, we don’t think he did good things. He brought a lot of suffering to the indigenous here,” and “People here say he discovered America, what they did was conquer the Americas,"
But in the other hand, there's people against it. They say that Columbus is part of our history.
