The #MountRushmore monument was completed (more or less) on #ThisDayInHistory in 1941. It permanently defaced the #SixGrandfathers mountain, a sacred site for the #Lakota. Its designer, #GutzonBorglum, was a #KKK member who also designed the #StoneMountain #Confederate monument.

I wish I learned how to photoshop so I can swap the presidents on Mount Rushmore with Freddie Mercury, Jon Bon Jovi, Billie Joe Armstrong and Ozzy Osbourne.

Who is on your Mount Rushmore?

Twists and Turns to Mt. Rushmore, S3E11

See the real Eye of the Needle, a natural phenomenon, and watch how a tunnel frames the distant Mount Rushmore. Then, we'll visit Mount Rushmore with the Avenue of Flags, ending with sampling the food at Carver's Cafe in the complex.. Our next video will take you on the Presidential Trail, surrounding the memorial. Watch this video and see nature and human creativity merging together.
