Happy Indienous People's Day!
In 2021, Tim Denson was one of the County Commissioners to pass legislation making the second Monday of October, Indidenous People's Day!
Trump and his ignorant outlook may try to change it to Columbus Day, but it will remain Indigenous People's day in Athens, Georgia!
