Rethinking Columbus: The Next 500 Years, edited by Bill Bigelow and Bob Peterson, was published in Milwaukee, WI as a classroom and community tool to discuss the problems with glorifying Columbus' "discovery" of the Americas and gives voice to the many silenced voices and stories "that help explain how this has become such a profoundly unequal world, but also how people have constantly sought greater justice."
