I have some deep Italian roots. My mother was first generation Italian, her parents came from Italy separately and met in Minnesota. Got married and 13-14 kids later…..I will continue to celebrate Columbus Day for this 👇reason. The source is https://t.co/OokAckMvjc. I have no problem sharing the day but I will not let it be forgotten. So Happy Columbus Day!
“The direct impetus for declaring the anniversary of Columbus’s arrival a national holiday was the mass lynching of 11 Italian Americans in New Orleans in 1891. One of the largest lynchings in U.S. history, it occurred during a time of widespread anti-immigrant and anti-Italian sentiment in the country and one year after the murder of New Orleans’ police chief, which was blamed on the city’s Italian population. In all, 19 Italians were to be tried for the murder, the weak evidence for which was exposed when 6 of the accused were acquitted and 3 were granted mistrials. Before the rest of the accused could be tried, a mob stormed the city’s prison and shot to death 11 Italians (a few of whom were not among the accused). The event threatened diplomatic relations between Italy and the United States, and, to appease the Italian government, U.S. Pres. Benjamin Harrison proclaimed the 400th anniversary of Columbus’s arrival a national holiday in 1892, intending it to be a one-time celebration.”
