Beaches are closed and fireworks cancelled as the US scales back 4 July amid surging Covid cases.

Angry at the toppling of statues, President Trump wants US heroes honoured in a new national garden.

The White House was always one of the busiest social hubs in Washington, accustomed to hosting at least three to five events per day, ranging from meetings with dignitaries and VIPs to smaller luncheons or private dinners. That is, until Covid-19.

President Donald Trump on Friday accused "angry mobs" of trying to erase history with efforts to remove or rethink monuments to U.S. historical figures and used a speech at Mount Rushmore to paint himself as a bulwark against left-wing extremism.

It's easy to be cynical this Fourth of July. Racial protests have rocked every major US city, and Americans can't even agree if they should wear face masks during a pandemic. But what some see as chaos, others see as an explosion of patriotism.

As President Trump travels to Mount Rushmore, Native American groups protest the event and the monument itself.

Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial, a nine-story-high bas-relief sculpture carved into a sprawling rock face northeast of Atlanta, is perhaps the South's most audacious monument to its pro-slavery legacy still intact.

President Donald Trump will begin his July Fourth celebrations with a trip to Mount Rushmore on Friday despite concerns about gathering a large crowd during the novel coronavirus pandemic and criticism from Native Americans about the visit.

President Donald Trump is aggressively working to undercut public confidence in the November general election by ramping up baseless concerns about voter fraud as he struggles through one of the lowest points of his presidency

"There is nothing either good or bad," Hamlet tells his old childhood buddies in Shakespeare's play, "but thinking makes it so." President Donald Trump borrowed that principle this week as he strove in vain to turn bad news about the coronavirus into some kin…

The charges — the first brought in a federal court — come after President Donald Trump had promised a crackdown on those attempting to topple or deface monuments.

President Donald Trump has a news conference with Poland’s President Andrzej Duda, the first visit of a foreign leader to the White House in months.

Most Americans support removing Confederate statues, but Trump’s allies think a majority will turn against a push to remove other monuments.

More important, more direct and much less well-publicized was the impact of slavery in instigating the American Revolution

A crowd of protesters gathered around a statue of George Washington in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday night and lit a fire on its head before pulling it to the ground.

Figures like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson have also come under scrutiny in recent weeks, as they both owned slaves

University of Virginia is changing its athletics logos after criticism that a design element referred to the school’s history with slavery.

The toppling followed a Black Lives Matter protest but it wasn't clear who yanked it down. The Founding Father was a slaveowner.
