President Donald Trump renewed the focus of Columbus Day, reclaiming the explorer’s “extraordinary legacy of faith, courage, perseverance, and virtue,”
according to the president’s proclamation. The day is celebrated on the second Monday of October to commemorate Columbus’ discovery of the Americas in 1492, celebrate Italian-American heritage, and acknowledge the 1891 lynchings of 11 Italian Americans.
