Columbus Day: The True Legacy of Columbus
Manage episode 479782739 series 3653508
Yesterday, President Trump officially abolished Indigenous Peoples’ Day — restoring Columbus Day nationwide.
But what are we really celebrating?
- Over 8 million Indigenous deaths.
- Child slavery.
- Sexual exploitation.
- Cultural genocide.
In this powerful episode of Voice of America, we expose the true history behind Columbus — the one the textbooks left out — and why remembering the real story matters more than ever.
Because history isn’t erased by tearing down statues. It’s erased when we stop telling the truth.
Listen now. Share the truth. #NotMyHero #IndigenousRising #VoiceOfAmericaPodcast
