Philadelphia Refuses to Let National Park Slavery Exhibit Fade Away on America's 250th Birthday
The Trump administration attempted to change a national park slavery exhibit in Philadelphia, prompting the city to vow continued efforts to fight back against such changes.
The Trump administration attempted to alter a National Park Service exhibit on slavery in Philadelphia's Independence National Historical Park, but the city has vowed to continue its fight against changes to the exhibit, which aims to provide a more comprehensive and accurate representation of America's history. The exhibit, which is set to open just days before the US' 250th birthday and near the park's birthplace site, is crucial in addressing the country's complex past on slavery. Visitors to the city are currently met with an incomplete national park due to the stalled exhibit. Philadelphia officials have expressed their determination to protect the exhibit's original content.
