Editor’s Note: As an Italian-American, myself, I could not be more glad to see one small injustice righted. The national holiday commemorating the discovering the Western Hemisphere was instituted more than a century ago after a wave of anti-Italian hate spread through the country, in which numerous Italians living in the United States were murdered, injured or suffered property loss or loss of their jobs. As the grandson of a hotel waiter and of a barber, I can never forget to be thankful that the U.S. government did one thing right and established a holiday which reminds everyone that it is upon the Christian-Faith inspired journeys of one Genovese navigator, that all the peoples of the New World, European, African and Indigenous, enjoy the benefits of Western Civilization and Christianity.
