Columbus Day sees many government offices and banks closed for the day. But are schools open on the annual holiday?
The ongoing outcry against Columbus Day led to a movement calling for it to be replaced with Indigenous Peoples' Day, to recognize Native people as the first inhabitants of the Americas. In recent years, many parts of the country joined the movement, including a string of states as well as individual cities including Washington, D.C and Boston.
These states and cities celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day either in place of or in addition to Columbus Day.The city's Department of Education said in a statement :"Italian Heritage Day/Indigenous People's Day will celebrate the contributions and legacies of Italian Americans and recognize that Native people are the first inhabitants of the land that became our country," ABC7 New York reported in May.
"By including these holidays on our calendar we are honoring the past, present, and future contributions of Indigenous communities and Italian Americans," the DOE statement said.
