October 12 On The Day Of The Race Or Indigenous Resistance
Christopher Colombus monument is seen in Quito, Ecuador on 12 October, 2020. October 12, race day is a date that has been changing with respect to its meaning and significance. Several citizens of the city of Quito in rejection of the colonial traditions imposed since the conquest have decided to paint, destroy and in extreme cases remove several statues representative of the Spanish conquest in South America. This day in Ecuador, several provinces carried out symbolic acts of indigenous resistance and rejection of the impositions that the Spanish crown gave at the time.
