=============================================

Making sure everyone sees this article on the Phila Inquirer website describing the potential censorship of historic displays that describe what life was like for staff and slaves in our first president's home in Philadelphia. It's a very interactive article. Nicely done, not something that can be easily put in the print version of the paper. And probably is behind a paywall, if you are not a subscriber, but I thought it was important enough to share anyway.

It is critical that we keep raising our voices in support of the National Park System, which is under a tremendous amount of stress - both in terms of budget and possible censure of the historical stories on display at our parks.

And thanks to everyone that participated in the Aug 2 Support Our National Parks Day in Valley Forge. Read about the day in the Aug Sylvanian for actions we can all take.
