The Trump administration has ordered the removal of signs and exhibits related to slavery from multiple national parks, including a historic photograph of Peter Gordon, a fugitive slave. The image, taken in 1863, depicts Gordon's severely scarred back, serving as a powerful reminder of the brutal violence inflicted upon enslaved Black Americans. This decision is part of an executive order issued by Trump, directing the Interior Department to eliminate any 'corrosive ideology' that portrays America in an unfavorable light. Several national parks, including Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in West Virginia, the site of John Brown's notable raid aimed at sparking a slave revolt, have been targeted. Over 30 signs at the park have been identified as potentially problematic. Staff at the President's House Site in Philadelphia, where George Washington once held slaves, have been informed that the current information presented at the museum does not align with the new administration policy.
