Philadelphia sues after city museum removed exhibit on its role in slavery, citing broken public trust.

Philadelphia has filed a lawsuit after a controversial exhibit on slavery was removed from a city-owned museum, alleging the decision violated public trust and historical accountability. The exhibit, which detailed the city’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, was taken down in late January amid controversy over its content and presentation. The city claims the removal was politically motivated and undermines efforts to confront systemic racism. The lawsuit seeks to restore the exhibit and ensure future transparency in cultural programming.
