Appeals court hears arguments in case over President’s House slavery exhibit removal

A federal appeals court in Philadelphia is reviewing a case over the removal of slavery exhibits at the President’s House historical site. The U.S. Department of the Interior and the city argue over whether the National Park Service’s removal of the exhibits violated agreements and historical site purposes. The case involves a 2006 city-federal agreement, a 1950 congressional agreement, and a 2021 Trump-era executive order cited for the removal.
