Federal Judge Halts Removal of Slavery Signs in National Parks Nationwide

A US District Court judge has issued an order blocking the removal of “negative” signs and depictions of slavery from national parks. The directive was made under a Trump administration rule change.

The court’s decision affects national park plaques that were altered to remove references to slavery and climate change.

In 2020, the National Park Service removed several historical markers and interpretive signs from national parks due to concerns about their content. The changes included removing references to slavery and its role in US history.

However, a federal judge has now ruled that these changes must be undone.
