Philadelphia sues over slavery exhibit removal at Independence Park

Philadelphia filed a federal lawsuit against the Interior Department and the National Park Service after the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President’s House site in Independence National Historical Park, seeking an injunction to restore the displays; city lawyers say the removal alters the exhibit, in a broader context of the Trump administration pushing to purge materials conflicting with his directives, with officials seeking comment and highlighting other recent purges of diversity-related content.
