@smarkstrickland@LoewyLawFirm Interesting. White House ALSO issued proclamations for Indigenous People’s Day and “Leif Erikson Day”.
One has to wonder if there’s such a thing as too many proclamations, if making so many on the same day cheapens them.
#IndigenousPeoplesDay is Oct 10th-the arrival of Columbus marks the arrival of colonialism, enslavement & extraction & Italians who stand in love,solidarity & their humanity must demand a well deserved Italian Heritage Day that does not celebrate genocide #ColumbusWasAMurderer
