He’s an old dead racist white man! Tear down his statues! Build statues to George Floyd! C’mon man! /s
The post refers to an audio version of The Life of Columbus, by Arthur Helps.

And now it’s time for a Columbus joke.
A tourist is walking through Havana when he is approached by a somewhat shady street vendor. “Psst,” the vendor whispers, “I can sell you the skull of Christopher Columbus!”
“I thought Columbus was buried in Spain,” the tourist responded.
“Yes,” says the vendor. “This is his skull as a child.”
I’ll be looking for a hardcopy or physical book on this. You have me wanting to know more about Columbus, the man. I tend to lack the patience for audio books.
