Trump’s list.
Trump did not include himself on his list, although several people did nominate him as part of the selection process, government officials said last year.
The outgoing president first announced the history garden in July, a month after Black Lives Matter protests erupted across the nation and swept away statues that had stood for decades, but which were deemed out of step with the times.Trump said monuments to Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington were also snared in the zeitgeist.
Trump’s idea is to erect new statues — “a roll call of heroes” — in an outdoor park run by the federal government as a counter to that.
The fate of the idea will soon rest in the hands of President-elect Joseph R.Biden, who could wipe it away with a stroke of the pen, or could alter it through his own executive orders, adding or subtracting names as he sees fit.
Trump’s initial list, written into his first executive order on the subject in July, was 31 names long.
The new list runs much further afield, with Native American figures alongside civil rights leaders, and women far more represented.They include actress Lauren Bacall, authors Harper Lee and Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Jeannette Rankin, the first woman to serve in Congress — and, decades later, the only lawmaker to vote against declaring war in 1941 after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor.Here’s the full list included in the executive order:.John Adams.
