Kobe Bryant to Be Included in National Garden of American Heroes
Black History Month is in full swing and the President of the United States on Thursday made an exciting announcement. There is a new park underway that will house historical monuments and art that will highlight the achievements of renowned Americans. President Trump revealed that Kobe Bryant (among a plethora of other notable figures) is to be included in the National Garden of American Heroes.
This garden is a project to immortalize and cement American history. So that it shall be remembered, revered and never forgotten. Other sports greats besides Bryant that will be honored include baseball superstar Jackie Robinson, iconic boxer Muhammad Ali and the golf phenom himself, Tiger Woods.
Although, only a few names were provided during the President’s recent presser. As time passes, more than likely more persons will be included. Thus, growing the park and its legacy. Back in 2021 there was a list of over 240 names; however, we were not able to confirm if all of those original individuals will make the final selection.
Nonetheless, the National Garden will feature historic women as well. There were quite a few cheers as Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday and Harriet Tubman were announced. However, full plans are being kept pretty tight-lipped; but Donald Trump did let some of the cat out the bag.

And I will showcase extraordinary… it will BE something very extraordinary. It’s going to be producing, we’re going to produce some of the most beautiful works of art in the form of a statue for men like: Frederick Douglass, Booker T.
