    History National Statue Garden: Make Your Picks!

    I don't see anything to honor about rivers, or any other natural features. I value humans and human acheivements. So naming after people, states (groups of people), battles, or after famous ships to honor the sailors accomplishments? sure. But what do I care about a river? Maybe if humans made...

    I mean, fuck McCarthy, but I'd laugh my ass off.

    Thoreau would hate that. But I had to read Walden in school, so the bastard deserves everything he gets.

    Honestly, that's a hard one.I'd probably put Harvey Milk here as the easy one. Maybe Craig Rodwell? (He might have started the Stonewall riots). Bayard Rustin belongs under activist, but IDK if he qualifies as a activist for gay causes. He was one of the leaders of the Black Civil Rights...

    I'd disagree. Many great Americans were those who stuck up for what was right when it was unpopular. Fredrick Douglass is a great example. So is MLK. I'd honestly have a couple for every group. A few black rights advocates, one or two LGBT advocates, one or two women's right advocates, one or...

    I wouldn't include Benedict Arnold, as his disloyalty isn't something we want to honor. It's mostly just straight hate with him. On scientists/military, I'd add Admiral Grace Hopper, who invented the idea of programming languages that use human words, and the compiler. It sounds obvious, but...
