PoliticsTrump administration replaces Philadelphia slavery memorial

The Trump administration has replaced panels at a Philadelphia memorial dedicated to people enslaved by George Washington. Critics say the new exhibit offers a sanitized portrayal of US history. The dispute centers on how the memorial presents slavery and its historical legacy. Critics therefore object not simply to the changes, but to what they see as a softened account of the past.
