John Cole, like many of you, wonders why we still have Columbus Day. This reminded me, as Columbus Day always does, of Trouillot's "Good Day, Columbus" in his Silencing the Past His discussion of the day and its meanings is very good and worth your time on the day we celebrate or mourn America's first European immigrant or vicious exploiter of the New World, depending on your reading of the past. .
