The internment of Japanese Americans was not a necessary response to the attacks on Pearl Harbor because of the psychological‚ political‚ and economical impact on Washington State.

To change Columbus Day to no longer be a holiday would be turning a blind eye to a difficult history‚ yet still turning that eye away from a history with a side to be celebrated. I instead ask of you to celebrate Columbus Day‚ learn the full history‚ including the wrong doings of Columbus and his crew‚ and celebrate the good change brought about by this event that ultimately led to the lifestyle you lead today.
