Federal court orders restoration of slavery exhibits at Philadelphia's President’s House

A federal judge ordered the Interior Department and the National Park Service to restore the President’s House slavery exhibits to their status as of January 21, 2026 and to maintain the site and safeguard the displays while litigation continues, rejecting the administration’s claim of unilateral control over national park exhibits and upholding the city’s cooperative agreement; the ruling does not resolve the broader lawsuit and the government may appeal.
