Columbus Day commemorates the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas on October 12, 1492. It is observed in the United States on the second Monday of October and recognizes Columbus's role in opening the Americas to European exploration and colonization. However, the holiday is also controversial, as it overlooks the impact of colonization on Indigenous peoples, leading to a growing movement to celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day instead.
