Federal Judge Orders Restoration of Slavery Exhibits

A federal judge just told the Trump administration to put back the slavery exhibits it removed from George Washington’s Philadelphia home last month. The National Park Service had taken down the exhibits, but it looks like that decision won’t stand.

What’s the Big Deal?

The President’s House, where George Washington lived, had exhibits that highlighted the ugly truth about his ownership of slaves. It’s not exactly a secret that Washington owned slaves, but it’s still a pretty sensitive topic. The Trump administration’s decision to remove the exhibits sparked outrage, and now a judge has stepped in to reverse that decision.
