President Obama Designates Three New National Monuments [View all]



The White House - Feb 19, 2015

At Gwendolyn Brooks College Preparatory Academy in Chicago, the President speaks at the designation of three new National Monuments, February 19, 2015.

Couple this with his announcement to give free admission to 4th graders and their families to visit national parks.

He also makes the point these lands are not just for the rich. Which is what the move to privatize the parks really is about giving them their own fiefdoms.

And he brings up the labor movement and the right to organize with unions and racial discrimination!

Very well played, thanks, Obama!
