Judge Orders Trump Administration to Restore Philadelphia Slavery Exhibit

A judge in the United States has ordered the National Park Service (NPS) to restore an exhibit about nine people who were enslaved by former President George Washington at a historical site in the city of Philadelphia. 
  
The ruling on Monday came after Philadelphia sued President Donald Trump’s administration over the takedown of several explanatory panels at the Independence National Historical Park, the site where Washington lived with his wife in the 1790s. 
 
The removal came in response to a Trump executive order to restore “truth and sanity to American history” at the nation’s museums, parks, and landmarks. It directed the Interior Department to ensure the sites do not display elements that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living”. 
  
U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe ruled that all materials must be restored in their original condition while the lawsuit challenging the removal’s legality plays out. She prohibited Trump officials from installing replacements that explain the history differently.
