Candidate Herschel Walker and Alveda King, nie of the Rev. Martin Luther King (MLK).
Trump has discussed the inclusion of statues honoring black historical figures in his planned national garden of American heroes, and this year he has said, “The Black people who helped us to advance our country great.” It pays homage to the generation of legends, champions, warriors and patriots.”
“The last administration tried to reduce everything in American history to one year in 1619, but under our administration we are the essentials that Black Americans have always played in the immortal cause of another date. The enslaved Africans arrived at the Virginia colony with the year of the Declaration of Independence.
“The theme of this year’s celebration is African Americans and workers, and I would like to thank Black workers, construction workers and all other workers. They do their jobs so that no one can do it. And we want to be very grateful for their contributions,” he added.
Trump is a victim of the American heroes’ national garden, enslaved African-American man who was injured while fighting in the Battle of Lexington, one of the first battles of the Revolutionary War. He said it will be commemorated by the statue. The president features other statues “capitalist black Americans” and major black historical figures such as Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, MLK, Muhammad Ali and Aretha Franklin.
