And millions of people lived in the Americas before any Europeans arrived.

Columbus was the first freemason to come here.
Who cares? Another day off for the government workers and banks. I'm just glad the teachers haven't found a way to take today off. It's crap. Holidays like this shouldn't mean a days worth of shut downs. Can you imagine how much money is wasted and the work not done today thats creates more work pushed back and it overtime?
The history books still have what are outright Lies about History.People are stupid because they don't know history.The truth is here if you dare to find it.I DARE YOU.
