For decades Latin Americans have commemorated October 12th as the Day of the Race. This is a date when the discovery of America by the Genoese Christopher Columbus is remembered as Columbus Day. The date was originally a celebration of the mix of the races that came with the arrival of Europeans, especially from Spain. On 2011 Ecuador declared October 12th as the Day of Interculturality and Plurinationality to correct the significance of this date that historically commemorated the discovery of America in 1492. #October12th #ColumbusDay #DayoftheRace #DayofInterculturalityandPlurinationality #DayofIndigenousResistance #DayofDiscoveryofTwoWorlds #CultureDay #DayofIndigenousPeoplesandInterculturalDialogue #DayofMourning #DayofRespectforCulturalDiversity #DiscoveryofAmerica ecuadorjoannansilmin.blogspot/2014/10/day-of-interculturality-and.html
