Judge orders Trump to restore park exhibits on slavery, climate
What's next: The administration must halt further edits and file weekly reports on restoring exhibits removed under the order.
A federal judge in Massachusetts ordered the Trump administration to restore National Park Service exhibits altered under an executive order targeting material that officials viewed as disparaging to Americans. U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley also barred additional changes while the case proceeds and required weekly status reports on the restoration effort. The lawsuit, filed in February by conservation and historical groups, challenged removals and edits involving slavery, climate change and labor history. Among the cited changes were exhibits at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia about people enslaved there in the 1790s under George Washington, a sign at Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument in Arizona and labor-history films at Lowell National Historical Park.
