October, the month Italo-American organizations throughout the United States celebrated Columbus Day with parades and public festas, is becoming a thing of the past. Since the 1992 Columbus Quincentennial commemorations, political activists have been watering down Columbus Day Discovery celebrations, to Indigenous people celebrations and anybody but Columbus celebrations.
Although I am not happy about it, I adopted a “meglio di niente” (better than nothing) attitude, however, with this pandemic keeping our population either working from home or not working at all with time on their hands, Admiral Christopher Columbus statuary, paid for by Italo-American groups, not at taxpayer expense, is being defaced, beheaded or removed with no consequences of any kind, for defacing public property.
