Question

According to the U.S. National Park Service, "Over the decades, Mount Rushmore has grown in fame as a symbol of America―a symbol of freedom and hope for people from all cultures and backgrounds." Do you think this statement is ironic? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

hThe National Park Service describes Mount Rushmore as a 'symbol of freedom and hope for people from all cultures and backgrounds'. The irony in this statement is the fact that they claim it is a symbol of hope for all people. In reality, Mount Rushmore itself is a desecration of a Sacred Native American mountain. Half of the men carved into Mount Rushmore enslaved African people.
