TLDR

Following an executive order from President Donald Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, the National Park Service removed exhibits about slavery at the President’s House in Independence National Historical Park. This action has led to a lawsuit from Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L. Parker’s administration, who argue the removal was unlawful and without statutory authority. The President’s House, a memorial to the enslaved individuals George Washington owned, has been under scrutiny from the Trump administration, which ordered the review and potential removal of content at national parks deemed to “inappropriately disparage” the U.S.
