The Wizard of Oz Monday was a holiday to celebrate Cristobal Colon (Christopher Columbus). There are twelve cities or towns in the United States named after him, not to mention the nation's capital in the District of Columbia, the South American country of Columbia and the Canadian province of British Columbia. There are schools, squares and statues honoring Columbus on both sides of the Atlantic. Yet, revisionist history has marked Columbus as an evil man who should not be honored at all and that he was responsible for thousands, if not millions of deaths.
 * Your assignment**: write an essay (at LEAST three paragraphs) explaining whether or not you think we should continue to honor Columbus, using facts, logic and common sense. Remember to consider 'worldview.'
