Rename "Christopher Columbus Day" to "Discovery Day"
Published by Ruth Burke on Nov 29, 2011
Target: White House
Region: United States of America
Background (Preamble):
Christopher Columbus created one of the biggest disasters of the America's: using the natives as slaves, the crew traded diseases including but not limited to Chicken Pox and syphilis. He is not the only Conquistador and Explorer to the America's to celebrate.
Petition:
Rename “Christopher Columbus” Day to “Discovery” Day.
In this way, one Conquistador and Explorer does not get all the credit for Discovery.
