\"Slavery<\/p>\n

PHILADELPHIA — Panels that told the stories of nine enslaved people held at the President’s House site have been swapped out for displays that critics say sanitize history.<\/p>\n

The change happened overnight into Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s the culmination of a months-long battle between the Trump administration and the city of Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

The city fought to\u00a0keep the slavery panels in place<\/a>, saying that removing them violated an agreement between the federal government and the city.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, an\u00a0appellate court ruled<\/a>\u00a0that the Trump administration did have the right to remove the panels.<\/p>\n

This all started with an executive order from the president, seeking to remove content from national parks that he says inappropriately disparaged Americans past or present.<\/p>\n
