Get off the degrading of Martin Luther King - your about to go to far with your comments.

Colombus was not the great man that the legend tries to make him out to be. He was just a man - who happened to have the best detailed record of the discovery of the America's so he gets more the day named after him. If Colombus only got a day named after him the real credit for the discovery of the new world goes to the individual who the America's are named after. It seems that in your attempt to defend Colombus you are also forgetting the other Europeans that discovered the New World first. You know those Vikings that braved the seas many years before Colombus was even born.
