Columbus Day (United States)
Columbus Day
Columbus Day was first celebrated on October 12, 1792 to honor the day
Christopher
Columbus landed in the Bahamas in
1492. One
hundred years later, it was celebrated again at the urging of
President
Benjamin Harrison.
Since 1920, it has been celebrated annually and, in 1971, became a federal legal holiday
to be celebrated on the second Monday in October.
The traditional Columbus Day in the United States includes a parade down New York's
Fifth Avenue. Parades and pageantry are often featured in smaller towns and cities. In
recent years, the holiday has been rejected by many people who view it as a celebration of
conquest and genocide. In its place, Indigenous Peoples Day is celebrated.
Many Latin American countries celebrate this day as Día de la Raza (Day of the Race).
This day celebrates the Spanish heritage of the Latin American peoples and includes
brightly colored fiestas.
