In a ruling on Friday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals allowed the Trump administration to reinstall educational panels at President George Washington's home in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776. The new panels, as mandated by a 2025 executive order, will replace ones installed in 2010 that detailed the lives of nine slaves living with the Washingtons during their brief tenure as the nation's capital. The removal of these original panels was due to their portrayal of American history, which the Trump administration deemed disparaging. The new panels, designed to comply with the order, will still discuss enslaved people who lived in the home, but will avoid critical language and specific details, such as a map of slave trade routes and a timeline on slavery. However, the city of Philadelphia has filed an appeal to halt the installation, citing its importance to both the city and the nation, given the site's role in telling a historically significant story that was long suppressed. The administration plans to install the new panels without delay, while advocates remain concerned about potential historical omissions or distortions.
