Happy Monday!! 😀 It's COLUMBUS DAY!! Columbus Day on the second Monday in October is observed in the United States each year. The day signifies Christopher Columbus’ arrival to America on October 12, 1492. #ColumbusDay Christopher Columbus was long given credit for discovering North America. However, long before Columbus was born (1451-1506), Leif Erikson landed on these shores. The Italian-born explorer did sail across the Atlantic, though, and more than once. In fact, he made four transatlantic voyages. His first was in 1492. Hence the rhyme, "In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue." LEARN MORE: During the 1492 expedition, Columbus was looking for Asia. He and his crew landed their three ships somewhere near the modern-day Bahamas🏝. While he may not have discovered an already populated continent, he did spur further exploration and colonization of North America. HOW TO OBSERVE COLUMBUS DAY: Learn more about Christopher Columbus and his voyages. Use #ColumbusDay to post on social media. COLUMBUS DAY HISTORY: Colorado first observed Columbus Day in 1906 as it became an official state holiday. More and more people and states began to recognize the observance. In 1937, Columbus Day became a federal holiday in the United States. Many instances of people observing Columbus’ voyage🗺 exist since the colonial period. In 1792, celebrations recognizing the 300th anniversary of his landing in the New World🌎 took place in New York City and other US cities. President Benjamin Harrison called upon the people of the United States to join in the celebration of Columbus on the 400th anniversary of the event. During the anniversary of 1892, teachers, preachers, poets, and politicians used the day to teach ideals of patriotism. These patriotic teachings were framed around themes of support for war, citizenship boundaries, the importance of loyalty to the nation, and celebrating social progress. #naplumbingllc #northamericanplumbing #masterplumber #repairs #toilets #sinks #showers #bathtubs #kitchens #bathrooms #pipes #disposals #sinkerator #quality #meridianville #toney #hamptoncove #madison #huntsville #hazelgreen

Black history is Alberta history, and Canadian history. #DYK - The Last Best West | Historica Canada. “At the turn of the century, many Black families in Oklahoma wanted to escape the state’s racial violence and discrimination for a new start in Canada’s ‘Last Best West.’ The Canadian government, however, didn’t want them to settle in those vast, fertile western provinces. To stem the tide of Black immigration, the government began a secret campaign of disinformation. Uncovering this deception from 1911 can help us think more critically about the media we consume today.” #BHM #BHM2024

On July 4th we celebrate the courage of those men and women who embraced the idea of freedom and indepedence and sacrificed much to earn it. It took over seven years from the time the Declaration of Independence was signed until the day the British surrendered, but those in the halls of Congress, and those who rallied behind such a powerful ideal didn't know how long the task would last. Today we are honored and inspired by those same "self- evident" truths to continue building a more perfect Union, no matter how long the task will take. Happy Indepedence Day! #independenceday #transformers #distributiontransformers #fieldservices #temporarypower #circulareconomy #sustainability #rentalpower
