Christopher Columbus is a polarizing historical figure today, but there was a time when many championed his voyage from Spain to the Americas in 1492. Columbus Day is observed on October 11 each year to commemorate his famous trip, but in recent decades many are pointing to the harm committed under his governance and the subsequent European colonization of the Americas.
