Reflect, Reconsider, and Remind Others About the Truth Behind Columbus Day

This week, I have been reminding students that day and evening classes at the college have been cancelled for Monday, October 8th.  Almost all the students smile and express gratitude for the reprieve.  Some students get excited as they share their three day weekend plan with me.  Some express excitement about the upcoming Holiday Sales!

I, on the other hand, will not be enjoying the traditional American holiday known as Columbus Day nor am I interested in participating in the ongoing sales offered by corporate America.

I will, however, be reflecting, reconsidering and reminding others about the truth behind this holiday. 

Please join me in this endeavor by sending people to this blog/video.

Whatever you do with your Monday, please do reflect, reconsider, and remind others about how we, as a nation, owe a great debt to the indigenous people of this land.
