Philadelphia sues over slavery exhibit removal tied to Trump order

TL;DR Summary
Philadelphia filed a lawsuit against Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and the acting National Park Service director after the National Park Service removed a slavery exhibit at Independence National Historical Park, arguing the city’s management agreement gives it a say in design changes; critics say the move whitewashes history and reflects the Trump administration’s push to reassess how the nation presents its past.
