Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with non-Columbus Day.
Submitted by Mario Enrique Calaf Rios Pinot on September 16, 2010 at 10:44 AM.
I always forget about HHM and its always a pleasant surprise, could this be why I forget? In my place of work www.fountainhouse.org one of the white female senior directors wants to un-celebrate Columbus Day. What could this mean? It sounds rather radical. It at least questions our days of secular celebration. I was born in Puerto Rico and so am a Boricua, the Taino Amerindian word. Thank you. Gracias.
