THEY ABUSED THE ITALIAN RACE
OSBORNE AND RUSSEAU - RACISTS
After Sacco and Vanzetti, Italians are being abused again by the assault on Christopher Columbus. What about OUR rights and how we Italians have suffered?
Italian-Americans in the United States celebrate Columbus Day as a day of ancestral national pride. Despite the fact that Christopher Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean under the sponsorship of Spain, he was born at Genoa, Italy. Columbus Day was traditionally celebrated by Italian-Americans on the 12th of October. That was the date in 1492 (according to the Julian calendar) on which Columbus made landfall in the Americas. In the Gregorian calendar, he would have made landfall on 31 October. For many years the claim was made that Columbus discovered the North American Continent, and to Europeans, that was a fact. But the truth of the matter, as revealed by later archaeological findings, was that other individuals had made landfall on both the North and South American continents prior to Columbus. In regard to the Eurasian immigrants who had come to North America across the Beringia land bridge about thirteen thousand years ago and gave birth to generations of indigenous Amerindians, the continent had never been lost and therefore was not in need of being discovered. That detail should not deny the fact that to the Europeans, Columbus truly did discover a land of which they had no knowledge. https://www.bedfordgazette.com/news/for-italians-columbus-day-a-time-of-national-pride/article_766bad95-66a2-5cb0-9402-b83aa966abfb.html
