Columbus Day??

Christopher Columbus

Ndio. Ni siku ya mapumziko nchini Marekani (na baadhi ya nchi nyingine ulimwenguni) wakisherehekea siku hiyo waiitayo Columbus Day inayokumbuka kuwasili kwa Christopher Columbus katika Americas mnamo Okt 12 1492.
Wana-Historia wanatambu ni nini kilifuata baada ya kugundulika kwa New World na matokeo yake kwa ulimwengu ni yapi. Na naamini madhara yake yakingalipo mpaka leo katika baadhi ya sehemu kama Afrika.
Ni nini hasa cha kusherehekea katika siku kama hii? Siku ambayo bado kuna upinzani wa umuhimu wa kuisherehekea kutokana na mateso waliyopata wazawa na watumwa ambayo kwa namna moja ama nyingine yalitokana na ujio wa huyo mheshimiwa?

Kwa msherehekeao, basi sherehe njema na wengine, siku kama kawaida.
Msikilize Burning Spear akimnanga Christopher Columbus hapa chini
