Judge orders President's House slavery exhibits to remain unchanged amid legal battle

A federal appeals judge has ruled that the exhibits about slavery at Philadelphia’s President’s House must stay as they are for now, as lawsuits over a Trump-era executive order continue. Some panels had been reinstalled after earlier rulings, but a stay halted restoration; critics argue the online “new exhibits” update and removals amount to sanitizing history, while the National Park Service navigates the ongoing dispute.
