美國第一次慶祝哥倫布日的活動,在1792年的1012日,這距離哥倫布發現新大陸已經有三百年的時間;但在其後的一百年中,這一天依舊不是正式的假日。紀念日是紀念特殊事件的日子,如哥倫布日,或知名人物的生日,像是馬丁路德日。成為國家假日可以幫助我們記得這些人對於我們國家的特殊貢獻。


The first Columbus Day celebration in the United States took place on October 12, 1792--300 years after his first discovery--but it still wasn't an official holiday for another 100 years. Days commemorating special events like Columbus Day or birthdays of famous leaders, like Martin Luther King Jr., become national holidays and help us remember the important contributions these individuals made to our country.
