A Flag Born from History and Heritage
In 1891, after the tragic lynching of 11 innocent Italian immigrants in New Orleans, America faced a turning point. To heal the nation’s wounds and honor Italian-American contributions, President Benjamin Harrison proclaimed the first Columbus Day the following year — a day celebrating courage, discovery, and unity.
This Christopher Columbus Day Flag stands as a tribute to that story — one of faith, perseverance, and the pursuit of the American dream. It represents not only the journey of Columbus but the millions of Italian families who found hope, freedom, and belonging in the United States.
Fly it proudly to celebrate Italian-American Heritage Month, Columbus Day, or anytime you wish to honor the resilience and legacy of those who helped shape our nation.
