День Колумба.

Во второй понедельник Октября американцы празднуют День Колумба. Как вы уже знаете, Колумб был итальянским исследователем, который открыл Новый Мир в 1492 году. Три сотни лет спустя они организовали мероприятие в New York City в память об открытии. Сначала, они назвали новый праздник Днём Открытия и праздновали его с парадами, банкетам и танцами. Позже, в 1869, праздник переименовали в День Колумба. Не всем американцам нравилась идея праздновать День Колумба. Для всех коренных американцев (индейцев) открытие европейцами Америки ознаменовало начало очень грустного периода в их истории.
