17 GOP Attorneys General Back South Dakota’s Lawsuit Over Mount Rushmore July 4 Fireworks Cancellation
Seventeen Republican attorneys general have filed an amicus brief in support of a lawsuit brought by South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem against the Biden administration over its decision to deny a request to hold a fireworks display at Mount Rushmore National Memorial in July to celebrate Independence Day.
The Biden administration canceled the fireworks display in a decision in March. Herbert Frost, a regional director for the National Park Service, cited the COVID-19 pandemic as a key factor in making his decision, saying that public health guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “currently recommends that large gatherings be avoided, particularly those in which physical social distancing cannot be maintained between people who live in different households.”
McDONOUGH â The past, present and future converged to create a single moment in time on the banks of Camp Creek last week.
Five family members stood on the creekâs bank surrounded by white memorial crosses, one of which bears the name of a man they never met, but who is ultimately responsible for their birth.
Direct descendants of J.R. Florida took in the enormity of the moment as they stood listening to the rushing water of the creek and the sound of a train passing overhead.
