Social justice-seeking high schoolers are again asking city councilors to formally recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day permanently in place of Columbus Day.
The council is set to hold a public hearing Monday night, when members of We Speak, Portsmouth High School’s social justice club, will advocate for the change after first introducing it in the fall, said PHS junior and We Speak member Harini Subramanian.
