After a unanimous vote, the City of South Fulton is changing the name of Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The resolution was drafted by Mayor Pro Tem Mark Baker. It says the day “recognizes the tremendous and unique contributions of the people who inhabited the United States of America prior to its colonization.”

Baker wrote on his Facebook page that the city may be the first in the entire state to make this name change, and now he’s calling on the residents to call on their representative to support his resolution. “It’s extremely necessary,” he said. “We are here to celebrate those people … They are disrespected, not acknowledged the way they should be. They are neglected. They are nameless, faceless, voiceless.”
