Frank Scaturro, President of the Grant Monument Assn, has written to NBC, the Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton and National Park Service director Fran Mainella over a performance by Beyonce on the Monument on 4 Jul which was televised nationally.
The head of the private historical group says that the government and NBC should have stopped Beyonce Knowles from dancing in a "patently inappropriate" way on the steps of the tomb of President Ulysses S. Grant, adding that the former Destiny's Child singer used "lascivious choreography" and barely dressed backup dancers.
