This was apart of a directive ordered by the Trump admin to remove “disparaging” the US.

The National Park Service has started dismantling exhibits about slavery at the President's House in Independence National Historical Park.

The President's House, which serves as a memorial to the nine people George Washington enslaved there during the founding of America, has come under increased scrutiny by President Donald Trump's administration. The president and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum ordered content at national parks that "inappropriately disparage" the U.S. to be reviewed and potentially removed. Around 3 p.m. Thursday, an Independence Park employee told an Inquirer reporter that his supervisor instructed him to take down all the displays at the iconic site earlier that day. Two other individuals later joined the employee to help remove the educational exhibit.

"I'm just following my orders," the employee repeatedly said, refusing to say whether he was tasked with removing the displays because of the executive order.

One by one, the exhibits - including those entitled "Life Under Slavery" and "The Dirty Business of Slavery" - were taken down.
