Columbus and Sex Trafficking https://www.womenspress.com/columbus-and-sex-trafficking Columbus wrote about the Taino, the first Indigenous people he encountered. “A hundred castellanoes [Spanish coin] are as easily obtained for a woman as for a farm … there are plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls. Those from nine to ten [years old] are now in demand.” https://archive.ph/ElEoG

@AnungIkwe Christopher Columbus - The Genocidal Rapist Slave-Trader
True. He slaughtered thousands for gold and greed.
In the U.S., Columbus Day is still a federal holiday. Why in the hell was a federal holiday named after him? Columbus didn't discover the "New World". The Vikings traveled to North America almost 500 years before Columbus.
California and Delaware have dispensed with the holiday entirely.
More than a dozen states and the District of Columbia dropped Columbus Day and celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day. The states include Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin.
