The white house has announced the establishment of FIVE new national monuments. MMMmmmmhhhhh?
My grandkids cannot visit the white house supposedly because of the cost of operations; but we have money to make 5 new national monuments; three of which celebrate minority history/culture. (Black and Hispanic).

Also, from a link within the article:
"President Obama has previously designated four monuments using the Antiquities Act. These include the César E. Chávez National Monument in California, Chávez’ home and the headquarters of the United Farm Workers of America since the early 1970s when Chávez was its president; Fort Monroe National Monument in Virginia, a former Army post integral to the history of slavery, the Civil War, and the U.S. military; Fort Ord National Monument in California, a former military base that is a world-class destination for outdoor recreation; and Chimney Rock, which is located in the San Juan National Forest in southwestern Colorado and offers a spectacular landscape rich in history and Native American culture."
Three of these four others were previously dedicated to and celebrate minority cultures in America. Anyone else seeing a trend here?
