A Philadelphia Councilmember, as well as Italian American groups, are suing the City of Philadelphia and Mayor Jim Kenney in U.S. District Court over a decision to rename the city’s Columbus Day holiday to Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

The plaintiffs alleged that the mayor’s executive orders discriminated against Italian-Americans while exalting another ethnic group.
