Trump Announces National Garden of American Heroes

President Donald Trump has announced the inclusion of several prominent Black American icons in the proposed National Garden of American Heroes, a project he first introduced during his earlier term. Kobe Bryant and Muhammad Ali are among the sports legends who will be commemorated with statues, alongside civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, and Frederick Douglass. The garden aims to honor over 200 historically significant figures and is part of Trump's broader initiative to celebrate the nation's heroes. Although initially targeted for completion by 2026, Trump now prioritizes finishing the project as quickly as possible. This announcement was made during a Black History Month event at the White House, where Trump emphasized the inspirational legacy of these individuals.
