HISTORY

Columbus Day is the name with which it was initially called in most Latin American countries the feast of the October 12 in commemoration of the sighting of land for the sailor Rodrigo de Triana in 1492, after having sailed more than two months at the helm of Christopher Columbus to what later would be known as America.

The denomination was created by the former Spanish Faustino Rodriguez-San Pedro, as President of the ibero-american Union , which in 1913 was thought in a celebration that unite to Spain and Latin America, choosing the day October 122 in 1914 is celebrated on October 12 for the first time as the feast of the Raza.3 In 1915 renamed to Day of the race.

Toward 1929 the Spanish Catholic priest Zechariah of Vizcarra, based in Argentina, he proposed, in an article published in the journal criterion, of Buenos Aires, that "Hispanidad" should replace "race" in the designation of the celebrations of the twelve of October.

The term Hispanic heritage, already used by De Unamuno in an article published by The Nation, of Buenos Aires, on 11 March 1910, began to flourish from 1926, of the hand of the Argentinian doctor Avelino Gutierrez and two Spanish journalists, the Luis Araquistain socialist and liberal Dionisio Perez, who become, during the years 1926 and 1927, in main propagators of their use.

Well into the twenty-first century citizens and the media, in Spain and in the American republics that speak Spanish, including the United States of North America, come calling to the festivity of the October 12 as Columbus Day, because it certainly is, the margin of what prescribed certain legal provisions cyclical, more or less embarrassing or having a complex, and always subject to the dictates of the black legend.

COLUMBUS DAY IN THE UNITED STATES

This October 12, 1492, then, marks the birth of the "new global order", where two distant cultures began to feed (and even to empacharse) on a reciprocal basis. For good or ill, the old browsers responsible for this feat are the creators first of the modern world. That is why the Day of the Race represents a definite break in the human history. How did you hear about pointing any time a spanish, this is the "day that got the world on the map".

The discovery of the new continent marked the birth of what later would be Latin America as a whole, as well as the United States and other western countries. In this sense, the Day of the Race celebrates a key moment in cultural development with global impact.

The Day of Colon (Columbus Day, in English)) is celebrated in the United States to pay homage to Christopher Columbus, who attributes the discovery of America on his first voyage in 1492. Celebrated on the second Monday of October and in each State is celebrated in a different way.
