Court Reinstates Slavery Exhibit as Trump History Rewrite Fight Escalates

A federal judge ordered the reinstatement of an exhibit about enslaved people at Independence National Historical Park after President Trump's executive order to “restore truth and sanity” in American history; the Interior Department has appealed. A new coalition lawsuit claims National Park Service policies are erasing history and science across multiple parks (from Grand Canyon to Stonewall), arguing parks should present the full, sometimes painful, story instead of censoring it.

Judge Cynthia Rufe granted the city of Philadelphia’s request to restore the exhibit panels while litigation continues, noting Congress had limited Interior Department authority to unilaterally alter the park.
