El día de la raza

Monday is known as Columbus Day to most of us and that's why we don't have school. Many hispanics know Monday as el Día de la raza or el Día de la Hispanidad. Those who celebrate el Día de la Hispanidad celebrate their connections with all the other Spanish-speaking people in the world. El Día de la raza is a time for indigenous people to celebrate their heritage and pre-Colombian history.
My father is from Canada so on Monday I will be celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving with my family.

Have a great weekend celebrating whatever Monday means to you!
