Celebrate and should we still celebrate it today? Why or Why not?
The landing is celebrated as "Columbus Day"
in the United States but the name varies on the international spectrum.
In some Latin American countries, October 12 is known as "Día de la
Raza" or Day of the Race. Although Columbus Day remains a national holiday, given the criticism surrounding the day, some states and cities have opted to celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day instead. The holiday celebrates Native American people, their histories and cultures. Columbus Day is a national holiday in many countries of the Americas and elsewhere which officially celebrates the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas on October 12, 1492 it would have been October 21, 1492. So yes, we should still celebrate Columbus day.
