As a kid, I thought you could climb up into the heads of the president and look out their eyes (kinda like going up the Statue of Liberty), so at 14 when I finally saw Mt. Rushmore I was so disappointed that you couldn’t do this. I felt really cheated. I also wondered why we carved the heads of 4 white guys in to the side of a cliff that many indigenous people consider sacred.
