All for it. If you missed it along the way, give the book "1491" a read. Tells the true story of man's history in North & South America.

Here's one for Richard....http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41567391

He might not sleep tonight when he finds out those Vikings that landed in Greenland before Columbus may have been Muslims.

Agreed, that is a fantastic book.

As to the day, fine with me. And if Michigan and Detroit want to honor European explorers, it should really be a "voyageurs day" anyway.
