Workers Remove Trumps Name From Kennedy Center
June 13, 2026 • Google News World
Workers at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts have begun removing Donald Trump’s name from the building’s facade, following a court-ordered deadline.
The removal of Trump’s name comes after a federal judge upheld an order to remove his name from the center, citing concerns over his handling of sensitive and divisive issues during his presidency.
According to reports, workers began the process on Tuesday, hours after the court-ordered deadline was set. The exact timeline for completion is not yet known.
The Kennedy Center, which was established in 1963, has been a prominent cultural institution in Washington D.C. for over five decades. Its name change marks a significant shift in the center’s history and raises questions about the role of public institutions in reflecting the values and principles of their patrons.
A court-ordered appeal to retain Trump’s name on the Kennedy Center was denied earlier this week, paving the way for the removal process to begin.
The removal of Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center is part of a broader effort to rebrand the institution and distance it from its former president. The center has announced plans to unveil new signage and branding in the coming weeks.
The exact cost of removing Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center is not yet known, but officials have estimated that the process could take several months to complete.
As the removal process continues, officials are working to ensure a smooth transition for visitors and staff. The center has announced plans to provide updates on its website and social media channels as the project progresses.
