Just weeks after scrubbing Columbus Day from the calendar, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will consider designating a new “Italian American Heritage Day.” The proposal, which will be introduced Tuesday, is being sponsored by newly sworn-in District 2 Supervisor Catherine Stefani and Supervisor Malia Cohen — who authored the measure replacing Christopher Columbus’day with Indigenous Peoples Day, angering many Italian Americans in the process.
The latest measure would have the city celebrate both Indigenous Peoples Day and Italian American Heritage Day on the second Monday in October. “It makes sense that the date should be shared,” Cohen said. Not to some Italian Americans. They’re gathering signatures for a November initiative that would get rid of Indigenous Peoples Day and bring back Columbus Day.
