Group Calls for Removal of Christopher Columbus Statue in Ohio City
– HOLLY NOTE:
Pueblo County, CO, where Stan and I live is 52% Hispanic. The remainder is largely comprised of Italians and to a lesser degree Slovenians, who have claimed a whole Bojon neighborhood. They don't cause problems, but in the past there has been been animas between Hispanics and Italians. Mexicans don't want Columbus Day (October 9) to be celebrated and Italians want Cinco de Maya extinguished (May 5). Since we live out of the city in an unincorporated area we've not witnessed the problems between these two cultures. However, with the monumental mess (pun intended) over Confederate statues, we wonder if this old fight will resurrect.
