Councilmember David Grosso proposed the “Indigenous Peoples’ Day Emergency Declaration Act of 2019.” Grosso has championed the bill for the past five years in efforts to honor indigenous people and their contributions.

And remember, the only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace. Hit the flip for tweets that proves no one cares about Columbus Day.
