You will be writing a short research paper debating whether or not we should celebrate Christopher Columbus Day/ Below is your writing prompt, followed by resources to find evidence for you 

“Many people and nations celebrate the anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s voyage. The question is was he an explorer who brought two world’s together and discovered America or a ruthless exploiter who brought colonialism, slavery and death? Does Columbus deserve to be celebrated as a hero or for his impact on history or should he be reviled as a villain”
