Judge orders reinstatement of park exhibits on slavery and climate change

A federal judge in Boston ordered the Interior Department to reinstate signs and exhibits about slavery, climate change and other topics removed from national parks, ruling the removals undermine park integrity and amount to censorship; the exhibits must be restored within 21 days ahead of the 250th anniversary. Plaintiffs argued removals violated congressional mandates and lacked rational justification, while the Interior maintained the policy aimed to tell the full, accurate history; the decision follows President Trump’s March 2025 executive order referencing revisionist history.
