New images show the Kennedy Center facade without President Donald Trump’s name after a court ordered the venue to remove it, offering the first look behind the tarp that has blocked the sign from public view for nearly two weeks.

The images, provided to multiple news outlets by activist group Hands Off the Arts, confirm a claim the Kennedy Center’s lawyers had previously made in a court filing that it had removed Trump’s name from the building’s facade.
Mallory Miller, co-founder of Hands Off the Arts and a former Kennedy Center employee, told multiple outlets the organization obtained the photos through its “network of community members.”
“This is the picture the Trump administration does not want anyone to see, so it’s all the more important … that people have an opportunity to witness when they’re winning,” Miller told the Washington Post.
