I sent an email to the Sori. Society contact saying I thought a less incendiary title would have been better. He said he would pass it on to the professors doing the presentation. I am sure they will ignore it.

You can’t understand history without understanding the context. The murals are beautiful art that depicts 19th century view of Columbus.

People of European decent who are upset about what their ancestors did 400 or 500 years ago should go back to Europe.

We got where we are today by what our ancestors did. Some was good and some was bad. On the whole the US has had a very good effect on the world.
