National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people

The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is an annual federal holiday that happens on the third Monday of January, close to the civil rights leader’s Jan. 15 birthday. Historically, it’s been the first fee-free day of the year for national parks, which waive entrance fees several days a year.

Now, visitors to the 116 parks that charge entrance fees will no longer get in for free on MLK Day or on Juneteenth, a federal holiday on June 19 that celebrates the end of slavery in the U.S. They will, however, on Trump’s June 14 birthday, which was added to the list this year. Parks charge admission fees that range from $3 to $30, according to the National Park Service.

“This policy shift is deeply concerning,” said Tyrhee Moore, the executive director of Soul Trak Outdoors, a nonprofit that connects urban communities of color to the outdoors. “Removing free-entry days on MLK Day and Juneteenth sends a troubling message about who our national parks are for. These holidays hold profound cultural and historical significance for Black communities, and eliminating them as access points feels like a direct targeting of the very groups who already face systemic barriers to the outdoors.”

Donald Trump Deal With It GIF

Had Trump been born on the 4th of July it would still outrage the leftist wimmins here...

  • USA Donating Member

All government holidays should be eliminated. Replace them with fuck the boss day or BBQ days. Seriously, they’re all pretty worthless.

No one's devotion is as bad as your to Viper....

I bet money you see his posts in your dreams...

Fuck no. I laugh at him whenever I think of him, but don't constantly think about laughing about others. This I reserve for on here. Getting him worked up as fun. You are pretty easy too.

Enjoy your lunch talking about me amongst your "friends".

Now if that isn't obsession I don't know what is. The last thing I even think about or talk about among friends is people from an obscure website....Holy crap dudelol

  • USA Donating Member

You have zero comprehension capabilities. Nowhere did I say or imply with friends. I am on a plane listening to music. Thinking I talk about you with my friends is fucking hilarious. roflcrying Take the opinion you have of yourself down about 10 notches. You are the laughing stock of the board
