- Portsmouth, N.H. council votes to kill Columbus Day but keep Indigenous People’s Day.
- Town leader: ‘Continuing to celebrate Christopher Columbus, who committed serious atrocities and massacres among the indigenous populations he encountered is unjust and cruel.’
- Catholic League fights back, ‘Attempts to cancel Columbus Day are more than just canceling the legacy of some 15th Century explorer. It sends a message to Catholics that they have a diminished role in the American experience.’
