Report: Man Who Organized Mt. Rushmore “July 4th Blockade” Arrested…He’s Looking at 12 Years in Prison For That Stunt
The man’s name is Nick Tilsen, and his goal in shutting down the road was to send the message that Mount Rushmore is a symbol of white supremacy and racial injustice in this country and that the four faces carved on that mountain are the four faces of colonizers who have committed genocide on Indigenous people.
