- An appeals court cleared the way for the Trump administration to reinstall revised interpretive panels at President George Washington’s Philadelphia house site — in the same area where the Declaration of Independence was adopted.
- The replacement panels include some material on enslaved people and abolition but omit details from the 2010 displays that critics say downplay or “whitewash” the history of slavery; the changes follow Trump’s 2025 executive order on historic-site messaging.
- The City of Philadelphia is pushing back in court to block the reinstallment; about half of the earlier panels had briefly been put back up earlier this year before a court ordered work stopped.
