The National Park Service removed the outdoor exhibit “Freedom and Slavery in the Making of a New Nation” at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia after a directive from President Trump to remove materials promoting “corrosive ideology.” The exhibit memorialized nine people enslaved by George Washington and explored the paradox between slavery and freedom, with removal images circulating online.
