And it appears you're On Time and On Point…as with every passing year more and more people become aware of the Truth about Columbus and more people and more are opposed to having a national holiday honoring that despicable man. The number is growing in support petitioning for a change in the holiday name.

Jeffrey Marlow:
"Every October, Americans take a day off in commemoration of a slave-wrangler, a man who governed by greed and oversaw genocide. They also celebrate a bold explorer, a man who risked everything and sailed across an ocean to "discover" a New World. The holiday, of course, celebrates the same man: Christopher Columbus. But as historians have revealed ugly truths about the explorer and his atrocious treatment of native populations, Americans have developed a schizophrenic relationship with Columbus Day."
