Not much to read here, but this small blog site has an interesting slant to history through its' maps.
In a growing number of cities and states, though, Columbus Day is being replaced with Indigenous Peoples Day

Tearing Down Statues of Columbus Also Tears Down My History
By JOHN M. VIOLA
For immigrants often caricatured as subhuman, Columbus was a figure to rally around.
One of the few reasons I'd love to live a long time is to see this country have so many complexly mixed heritage people that no one had any personal interest in historical figures. I.E., an Italian-Afro-Irish-Chinese-Hmong-Ukrainian-Cherokee-American will have as much interest in the good Columbus and the bad Columbus as everyone else. Pride in heritage should be about what your ancestors did, not where they came from, and what genetic makeup they had.
