Was to talk a bit more about this controversial event im joined now by our reporter simon bone simon welcome why did trump one to hold this event at Mount Rushmore whats the significance of all well hes not the 1st president to do so its an American Icon with the 4 president s and one of the symbols of the United States so theres theres clearly that but its been a long time since a president actually appeared there at the 4th of july i believe george bush the elder was the last one to do so around 30 years ago. But this year it has specific this special significance because of the various protests the unrest thats been happening in the United States and around the world. Which began with the confederate statues but when told where to criticize to the president s behind him. George washington and Thomas Jefferson for who were slave holders and. So that that is clearly one of the reasons why hes hes hes doing that in fact the other 2 president s as well have have been criticized there is that theres a statue of teddy rose Teddy Roosevelt in new york thats in danger of coming down and lincoln the man who freed the slaves during the civil war and led the nation. His statue in london where it was was vandalized during a protest there Health Experts and byron mentalists and native american activists have all voiced concerns about this event taking place why. Where their concerns and why were they not heard by the White House Well as youve mentioned the native americans have a specific concern about covert 19 they say statistically that they are more susceptible to to catching this disease and its a concern of theirs this is in the middle its near their land. The lakota sioux other or the people who live in western south dakota and theyre concerned that this could spread the disease with 7000 people there in a relatively confined area no social distancing and no requirement to wear a mask they are being suggested to do so very few people seem to be actually doing that. But also theres the broader concern like i say this to look oh to live in this area rushmore is in their sacred land it used to be part of the reservation that was taken away from them many years ago and so theyre saying this is an opportunity to voice some of their longstanding concerns about how they live and where they live about the things that were taken away from them and theyre still very poor standard of living compared the rest of the country i mean both thank you very much.
