Why people are happy but worried over the countryโs newest national park
From this overlook 1,400 feet above the the river, one can understand why the New River Gorge is known by many as the Grand Canyon of the East. Thanks to a bipartisan measure by Congress, New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia was designated the 63rd national park in the United States, and the first in West Virginia. Earning the national park designation is important for a space, because it means it will be preserved and protected for purposes such as providing a habitat for wildlife, recreation and conservation -- not development. Chelsea Ruby, the tourism commissioner for West Virginia, said she expects a significant increase in the already 1.4 million annual visitors to New River Gorge National Park, citing a 21% increase in tourism that Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore saw when it was designated a national park. โItโs a real victory,โ West Virginia Sen. Shelley More Capito told the Washington Post.

(AP Photo/Sarah Rankin)LEXINGTON, Va. โ The Virginia Military Institute removed a prominent statue of Confederate Gen. Thomas โStonewallโ Jackson on Monday, a project initiated this fall after allegations of systemic racism roiled the public college. But โVMI does not define itself by this statue and that is why this move is appropriate,โ he added. VMI said the statue will be relocated to a nearby Civil War museum at a battlefield where dozens of VMI cadets were killed or wounded. But he said it would not remove the statue of Jackson, who owned enslaved people, or rethink the names of buildings honoring Confederate leaders. In 2015, VMI did away with requiring freshmen to salute the statue each time they passed it, Wyatt said.
