On October 12, 1492, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus and his three ships arrived in the Caribbean. Columbus’ voyages, on behalf of Spain, created Europe’s first contact with the Americas and cracked the navigation code for other explorers, including slave ship captains during the transatlantic slave trade. In the 20th century, several cities in the United States began erecting statues in Columbus’ honor. Since the 1990s, Native Americans, African Americans, and others have called for the removal of these statues, citing Columbus’ legacy of cruelty toward Native Americans and his influence over the slave trade.
