Ohio city replaces Columbus Day with Indigenous People's Day

OBERLIN, Ohio - In a unanimous vote Monday night, Oberlin City Council voted to abolish Columbus Day
and replace it with Indigenous Peoples Day.

"Columbus Day is a touchy subject for some folks. However, the history of Columbus Day speaks for itself," said a supporter.

Residents packed council chambers as the second Monday in October was forever changed in the city of Oberlin.

Not everyone was in favor of the resolution, saying Columbus Day is about more than just a man, it’s about culture.

    History has been written. You can't change it. Columbus enabled the theft of land from the indigenous population.

    It's Oberlin; once a quality liberal arts college; now vying to be Portland-East.
