Court Rules Trump Administration Can Replace Slavery Exhibit
Federal court allows replacement of slavery panels in Philly.
Event Overview
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Trump administration has the legal authority to replace interpretive panels regarding enslaved people at George Washington's Philadelphia residence. While the administration claims the new panels provide more historical context, critics and historians argue the move whitewashes Washington's role in slavery. This legal battle occurs amidst a broader national effort, led by figures like Bryan Stevenson, to memorialize racial terror and confront America's legacy of slavery.
