Columbus Day
In 2017, the city council of Akron, Ohio, became split along racial lines with the decision to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day, creating pushback from the city's Italian American community. In 2018, a compromise was reached, with the city council voting to name the first Monday of October as North American First People's Day whilst keeping Columbus Day, and in 2020, Columbus Day was renamed Italian-American Heritage and Culture Day.
