Wicked Local
On Saturday, May 15, Bedford voters will be asked to change the name of Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day.
A yes vote will add Bedford to a growing list of cities and towns in Massachusetts making the switch. This is really a chance to honor the tradition of the people and start to repair the damage done, said Anne Caron.
Caron and Heather Leavell are the local driving forces behind the proposed change. Leavell, a recent transplant from Melrose, had been working on the change in that town for several years. Successful, she wanted to effect a similar change in her adopted community.
