Independence Day Marked With Mount Rushmore Fly-Over

US President Donald Trump traveled to Keystone, South Dakota, on July 3 to visit Mount Rushmore for an Independence Day celebration.

A military flyover and fireworks were among the planned events.

Demonstrators were seen blocking Iron Mountain Road, leading up to Mount Rushmore, and were heard chanting anti-Trump and Black Lives Matter messages. Supporters of the region’s First Nations people, the Sioux Nation, also known as Oceti Sakowin, were heard lobbying for land rights.
