Slavery exhibits removed from national parks under White House order

• Exhibits on slavery at several US national parks have reportedly been ordered removed by the Trump administration.
• These removals include displays at Harpers Ferry National Historic Park and first president George Washington's former residence in Philadelphia, where he kept slaves.
• A famous 1863 photograph of an enslaved man known as 'Peter', depicting his horrifically scarred back, is among the exhibits reportedly targeted for removal.
• The directive stems from a March executive order by the Trump administration, which aimed to purge content that "inappropriately disparage Americans past or living."
• National Park Service officials are reportedly interpreting this order broadly to include information on racism, sexism, slavery, gay rights, and the persecution of indigenous people.
