Trump White House can reinstall its sanitized history of slavery at George Washington’s house, appeals court rules

A U.S. appeals court ruled that the Trump administration can reinstall interpretive panels at the site of George Washington’s home in Philadelphia, which critics argue downplay the history of slavery. The new panels, influenced by Trump’s 2025 executive order, focus on American achievements while omitting details like slave trade routes and critical headlines present in prior panels. The city of Philadelphia opposes the change and has filed a legal challenge.
