Columbus Day clashes as protests accompany parade
Demonstrators in Boston bore a banner challenging Columbus’s deeds while bystanders offered measured reflections on history. In Boalsburg a distant relative saw quincentennial as a chance to review values, and a Pennsylvania family highlighted their castle link as they invited an anti-Columbus display. An Associated Press poll showed 64 percent calling Columbus a hero, 15 percent a villain, and 9 percent both, with a 3 point margin of error. Indian leaders urged not to blame Columbus alone for European wrongs, noting the holiday’s mixed symbolism.
