In my opinion he's not a hero because he wasn't the first to discover America. It was Leif Erickson. And Christopher enslaved a lot of indigenous people.and i quote "they should be good servants." And soon enough they were forced into slavery. This is similar to the rosa parks situation, a teenage girl before rosa parks whom was pregnant fought for her seat but wasn't talked about because she was "too dark" and "didn't look good for the movement" Christopher isn't a golden boy and should not be betrayed as one.
