“The New York Times has set its sights on Mount Rushmore as protesters demand the removal of historic monuments in the name of racial justice, citing its location on Indigenous land, the sculptors purported ties to white supremacy, and two of its subjects slave ownership.
Mount Rushmore was built on land that belonged to the Lakota tribe and sculpted by a man who had strong bonds with the Ku Klux Klan. It features the faces of 2 U.S. presidents who were slaveholders, the New York Times wrote, linking to a news article detailing complaints against American landmark”
What a disgusting smear of Gutzon Borglum by the New York Times. I hate the “paper of record” more with each passing day. . .I didn’t think that was possible.
NYT. I despise them.
