Zinn Education Project News
|
With the exciting news that
Los Angeles has replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day, and the debate over removing Confederate monuments spilling over to the
statues of Columbus, now is the time to renew efforts to Abolish Columbus Day across the country.
Celebrating Columbus means celebrating colonialism, celebrating racism, celebrating genocide. It's time that instead we paid tribute to the people who were here first, who are still here, and who are leading the struggle for a sustainable planet.
JOIN THE ZINN EDUCATION PROJECT
in abolishing Columbus Day and celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day in our classrooms,
our schools, our communities, and our country.
