Biden Cancels Trump’s ‘American Heroes Garden’ and its Statues of Billy Graham, Others
District of Columbia | June 15, 2021
With no comment, President Biden in recent days canceled a proposed “National Garden of American Heroes” that had been planned by President Trump and would have included statues of dozens of figures from history, including Billy Graham and Harriet Tubman. Trump issued two executive orders to establish the garden, one in July 2020 and another in January 2021.
But last month, Biden signed an executive order of his own revoking multiple executive orders by Trump, including both executive orders related to the heroes garden. Biden’s executive order did not list his reason for canceling the monument.
The National Garden of American Heroes would have been constructed outdoors at a yet-to-be-determined site. In his January executive order, Trump said a task force had completed the first phase of the project and was “prepared to move forward.”..
