Federal appeals court rules Trump administration can replace slavery exhibit at Independence National Historical Park.
A three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the Trump administration can proceed with replacing exhibits at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia. The decision overturns a lower court injunction that had blocked the National Park Service from removing panels about slavery at the President's House site. The court found that Philadelphia lacks veto authority over the federal government's historical exhibits at the site.
