What's Going on at the Green This Week?

October 14, 2024

Here's what's going on at the green:

School will be closed on Monday October 14th

While many people still honor the memory of Columbus coming to America and use it to celebrate Italian-American heritage, many indigenous people protest it because of the destruction Columbus supposedly inflicted on them. As a result, many states and cities now celebrate Indigenous People's Day on the second Monday in October instead of Columbus Day.

Last year, the Biden administration issued a proclamation recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day for the third year in a row. The commemoration of Native American history and culture is now federally recognized alongside Columbus Day, which has been historically observed on the same day. (USA Today 2024)
