Columbus Day

Columbus day is on October 12, 2016. This day we celebrate the anniversary  of Christopher  Columbus arrival in the new world. This holiday we honor the achievements that columbus has made. Columbus is known for the first european to sail to the Americas. The first original celebration was in San Francisco, and was celebrated for the Italian-American heritage. We celebrate Columbus day because of the European settlement in the Americas and led to the demise of history and culture of the people.

Reflection: My thoughts on Christopher Columbus would have to be that he was a courageous man, sailing and discovering new places on his own. He deserves to have an honor roll because he did good things during this time period. Although people might say if he would've been alive today he would be in prison for doing horrible things but you never know he could’ve been a hero and a villain.
