Trump administration replaces slavery exhibition at Washington’s home in Philadelphia

The Trump administration replaced slavery exhibit panels at the President’s House site in Philadelphia, where George Washington lived while enslaving nine people. Mayor Cherelle Parker condemned the overnight installation, saying it removes a “thorough history” of the city’s enslaved community. Historians and city officials argue the new display whitewashes slavery, including removing some critical content. The Interior Department says the updated panels contain historical context and acknowledge slavery’s evils, while the city vows to continue legal action.
