Happy Columbus Day
The man who brought the glories of Western Civilization to the new world and a day to honor Italian Americans. https://t.co/u07HGF6zHQ
Great day marching in the Manhattan Columbus Day Parade. I was asked about renaming Columbus Day. Absolutely not! NY's Italian-American community is proud of its heritage & Christopher Columbus. The day isn't getting canceled & the statues aren't coming down. Happy Columbus Day! https://t.co/CHn5bNYFWT
Columbus Day was 1st celebrated nationally 400 years after Christopher Columbus landed in the New World. The holiday has recognized Columbus’ achievements and is a source of great pride for the Italian American community to honor one of their own. Happy #ColumbusDay! 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 https://t.co/PW4xPEbZLh
Happy Columbus Day! Thank God for the discovery of America - the greatest country to ever exist!
To borrow a phrase from my friend @MattGaetz, if this offends you, then be offended.
In 1892, after a brutal lynching and mass murder of Italian-Americans in New Orleans, President Harrison declared a one-time national celebration of Italian heritage, hoping to placate Italian-Americans and repair relations with Italy.
They called it Columbus Day. https://t.co/O3VeDJ6YQM
Columbus Day is the celebration of Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the Americas on October 12, 1492. Christopher Columbus was an Italian-born explorer who discovered the Americas for the Spanish King in 1492.
