Philly slavery exhibit: David McCormick joins fight to restore President’s House Site
A federal appeals court is hearing arguments over the restoration of slavery-related interpretive panels at Philadelphia’s President’s House Site. The Trump administration is appealing a judge’s order requiring the National Park Service to restore the panels, with U.S. Sen. David McCormick joining bipartisan efforts to preserve the exhibit. The case involves discussions about historical interpretation and includes figures like Nate Gerace of the Avenging the Ancestors Coalition and attorney George Bochetto.
