Federal government installs reworked panels about slavery at George Washington’s Philadelphia home
The Trump administration reinstalled revised historical panels at George Washington’s Philadelphia home, omitting details like a map of slave trade routes and critical headlines about slavery. Critics argue the changes downplay slavery’s history, leading to a legal dispute with Philadelphia, which sued over the removal of prior exhibits. The revised panels focus on broader themes like the abolitionist movement and the Civil Rights movement.
