The Trump administration has implemented its plans to replace panels at Philadelphia's President's House site, where George Washington lived during the 1790s when the city served as the US capital.
The President's House, which is part of the Independence National Historical Park, currently offers panel displays and videos focused on the lives of nine enslaved people who lived with and served Washington and his wife, Martha.
Critics say panels soften slavery's history
The administration sought to revise the exhibit under the 2025 executive order "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History." The order aimed to remove content from historical and cultural institutions that the administration said "inappropriately disparage Americans past or living."
The new version of the exhibit, which was installed on Wednesday, retains references to those enslaved at the house, as well as information about the abolitionist movement.
