Columbus Day in the United States. Columbus Day, which is on the second Monday of October, remembers Christopher Columbus' arrival to the Americas on October 12, 1492. This holiday is controversial because the European settlement in the Americas led to the demise of the history and culture of the indigenous peoples.
Columbus Day was first enshrined as a legal holiday in the United States through the lobbying of Angelo Noce, a first generation Italian, in Denver. The first statewide Columbus Day holiday was proclaimed by Colorado governor Jesse F. McDonald in 1905, and it was made a statutory holiday in 1907.olombia, the only country in the world with a name originated from Columbus himself, celebrates El dia de la Raza, and is taken as an opportunity to celebrate the encounter of the two worlds and to reflect on the richness that the process of mestizaje (or miscegenation) has brought to the culture.
