Notre Dame to cover up Christopher Columbus murals

The 12 murals created in the 1880s by Luis Gregori were
intended to encourage immigrants who had come to the U.S.
during a period of anti-Catholic sentiment.

South Bend, Ind. -- The University of Notre Dame will cover
murals in a campus building that depict Christopher
Columbus in America, the school's president said, following
criticism that the images depict Native Americans in
stereotypical submissive poses before white European
explorers.

The 12 murals created in the 1880s by Luis Gregori were
intended to encourage immigrants who had come to the U.S.
during a period of anti-Catholic sentiment. But they
conceal another side of Columbus: the exploitation and
repression of Native Americans, said the Rev. John Jenkins,
president of Notre Dame.
