Court clears path for Trump admin to replace Philadelphia slavery exhibit before Independence Day

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore the slavery exhibit at Philadelphia's President’s House, but an appeals court subsequently cleared the way for its immediate replacement with new panels ahead of July 4; the Interior Department says the updates align with a presidential order to “restore truth” in history, while critics warn the changes would whitewash Washington’s enslavement of hundreds. Philadelphia had sued in January to preserve the memorial.
