When Christopher Colombus sailed out to sea on his quest to what he thought it would be India, little did he know that he was about to change the coming centuries for ever.
He touched and changed the lives of millions around the world. Intellectuals, peasants, women, and minorities from afar, and last but not least, the indigenous people of the Americas.
