March 9 is the birthday of Italian-born merchant, explorer, and navigator, #AmerigoVespucci He’s the guy who America was named after, and unlike a certain other Italian guy who erroneously gets credit did its did discovery, Vespucci actually stepped foot on there and didn’t confuse it for another country. He also didn’t contribute to a ton of slavery and mass slaughter of indigenous people. Bonus! So why don’t we just forget the other guy, and go with #AmerigoVespucciDay ^__^ #christophercolumbusdidnotdiscoveramerica #forgetcolumbusday https://www.instagram.com/p/CMHVPJGlgwl/?igshid=bvc7gr4zelpo
