A local elected official wants to do away with Columbus Day, which is observed the second Monday in October. Omari Hardy, a city commissioner in Lake Worth Beach, says Christopher Columbus is not someone who deserves a holiday. It's often said that Christopher Columbus was a great explorer, but Hardy says there’s another side to him that most kids in school never hear about in their history class.
“He was really just like a terrorist," Hardy said. Hardy says Christopher Columbus is not a person that Americans should admire and respect. “I certainly have an issue with someone who was a really brutal guy, even for his time, being honored and I certainly don’t want us to hold a holiday after him," Hardy said. Americans observe Columbus Day on the second Monday in October each year and a number of cities celebrate with parades.
