The Trump Administration has reinstated an exhibit detailing the lives of nine people enslaved by President George Washington in Philadelphia after a court order, allowing visitors to view artifacts and personal belongings of those held captive in the city. The exhibit had been removed last year due to complaints from Washington's estate about how it was being displayed. However, a federal judge later ruled that the exhibit should be reinstated, citing its educational value and historical significance. The exhibit will now reopen on Thursday with some changes made at the request of Washington's estate.
