Great article/s. Thanks, Adeshina. Occasional reminders of the background of the American Thanksgiving often put the season in its proper historical perspective.

Omowe Adesina,
I really enjoyed reading the myth, story and history of American Thanksgiving Celebration. It is a mixed bag historical narrative. But life has  continue move on because we cannot live in the past in the 21st century.

"But life has to continue to move on because we cannot live in the past in the 21st century." (SO)

Fair enough, Alagba Ogungbemi, but at the same time, we cannot write off history. That way, we may ensure a smoother, less malignant, narrative in the future.
