Columbus Day is being replaced by Indigenous Peoples’ Day in many places. What once was a holiday to commemorate Christopher Columbus landing in the Americas in 1492 has now turned to celebrate Indigenous People instead of the violent colonization of the Western Hemisphere. Depends on who you ask. But some of these Columbus Day memes burn Christopher Columbus hard.
