Kamala: Change Columbus Day to ‘Indigenous Peoples' Day'‐ US ‘Scene of a Crime'
|
[Breitbart] Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) said on Monday that she supports changing Columbus Day to "Indigenous Peoples’ Day" in part because Americans have to remember that the United States is "the scene of a crime" when it comes to "institutionalized racism."
At a town hall event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, a questioner asked Harris, the 2020 presidential candidate, if she would support an "Indigenous Peoples’ Day" at the federal level because the voices of indigenous Americans are being "erased and marginalized."
Harris said she would support the change, arguing that it matters because Americans have to "remember history."
"We have to remember our history. Uncomfortable, to your point about truths, though it may make us," she said.
Harris then talked about her anti-lynching bill that recently passed the Senate and said it "finally got passed" in 2019 partly because "people did not want to deal and accept, and most importantly, admit that we are the scene of a crime when it comes to what we did with slavery and Jim Crow and institutionalized racism in this country."
