Trump administration can replace Washington slavery exhibit in Philadelphia, appeals court says
The unanimous ruling said the replacement panels provide enough historical context and vacated a February order to restore the original exhibit.
- A three-judge panel of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that the Trump administration may replace slavery exhibits at the Philadelphia President's House, overturning a February injunction that had halted the removal.
- Philadelphia sued the National Park Service in January after the administration removed the panels, citing a $1.5 million investment and a cooperation agreement requiring the federal government to maintain the historic site.
- Judge Thomas Hardiman wrote that the city's contract claims lacked merit, stating the new panels are "full of historical context" and adequately detail the stories of the nine enslaved people who lived at the residence.
- Gov. Josh Shapiro and Rep. Brendan Boyle criticized the ruling, with Boyle urging Congress to pass the Protecting American History Act and declaring, "This fight is not over."
- The ruling arrives just over two weeks before July 4, marking the nation's 250th anniversary, as the Justice Department seeks to move forward despite conflicting legal precedents on similar monument modifications.
