The National Garden of American Heroes

Have you heard of this? Donald Trump is planning to build what he calls the National Garden of American Heroes in the Black Hills of South Dakota, just miles from Mount Rushmore.

No less than 250 life-size statues of historically significant Americans will adorn the garden. There aren't that many statues in one place anywhere in the world. The National Garden of American Heroes is expected to honor the likes of Amelia Earhart, Muhammad Ali, Steve Jobs, Sacagawea, and Christopher Columbus. 

The Lakota Tribe and other Indigenous groups oppose the project, arguing the land is sacred and should not be further developed.
