Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Workers are restoring a slavery exhibit at the site of the nation's first presidential mansion in Philadelphia ahead of a Friday deadline to do so.
U.S. District Court of Eastern Pennsylvania Judge Cynthia Rufe on Monday ordered the Interior Department to restore the exhibit, which was removed in January amid the Trump administration's anti-DEI policy.
The exhibit features nine panel illustrations of nine slaves, whom President George Washington brought with him to the mansion while serving as president.
Rufe likened the slavery exhibit's removal to author George Orwell's novel "1984" and said the exhibit supports "historic truths," The Hill reported.
