The Shades of Destruction. Mount Rushmore is known for the colossal sculpture carved into its granite face, featuring the heads of four U.S. presidents—George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln—representing the nation's birth, growth, development, and preservation, making it a major American landmark and symbol of democracy, drawing millions of visitors annually to South Dakota's Black Hills. #mountrushmore #moru #mountrushmorenationalmemorial #mtrushmore #blac
