Slavery exhibits removed from Philadelphia's Independence National Historical Park

The National Park Service has started dismantling exhibits about slavery at the President’s House in Independence National Historical Park. The President’s House, which serves as a memorial to the nine people George Washington enslaved there during the founding of America, has come under increased scrutiny by President Donald Trump’s administration. The president and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum ordered content at national parks that “inappropriately disparage” the U.S. to be reviewed and potentially removed.
