Slavery exhibit plaques removed from Philadelphia museum after Trump orders review

From Global News.

The U.S. National Park Service staff tore down an exhibit on slavery at the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia on Thursday, following claims by U.S. President Donald Trump that historical and cultural institutions promote “anti-American ideology.”

The exhibit was at the President’s House Site in Independence National Historical Park, where the first U.S. president, George Washington, lived when the Pennsylvania city was the nation’s capital.

It described the history of slavery and Washington’s ownership of enslaved people.

Mayor Cherelle Parker said the city’s agreement with the federal government dates back to 2006 and "requires parties to meet and confer if there are to be any changes made to an exhibit."
