flag A judge condemned the Trump administration’s removal of a slavery exhibit at George Washington’s home, calling it dangerous and unlawful.

flag A federal judge in Philadelphia, Cynthia Rufe, strongly criticized Justice Department attorneys for calling the removal of a slavery exhibit at the President’s House Site acceptable, calling their statements “dangerous” and “horrifying.” The exhibit, which detailed the lives of nine enslaved people connected to George Washington’s presidency, had been developed over two decades with city and National Park Service collaboration and was abruptly removed this month using crowbars, with materials stored in a truck. flag The action followed President Trump’s executive order aiming to reshape historical narratives at federal sites. flag Judge Rufe expressed concern about potential damage to the materials and rejected the idea that the government can alter or erase history based on political preferences, emphasizing that once history is known, it cannot be unlearned. flag The city, which invested $1.5 million, is seeking restoration, and the judge plans to inspect the site and storage.
