An appeals court on July 3 permitted the National
Park Service to proceed with replacing a slavery exhibit
at President George Washington’s house in Philadelphia.
The Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
issued a mandate after government lawyers asked the
court to allow the National Park Service to “begin work immediately and install
its new exhibits” at the site.
Government lawyers said in a July 2 motion that the agency has designed
“replacement panels” for the President’s House and was prepared to install them
once the lower court’s injunction requiring the restoration of removed exhibits
was dissolved.
“The President’s House is an important
national historical site, and the government submits that the President’s House
exhibits should be fully installed without further delay,” the motion stated.
Following the court’s decision, the city of Philadelphia
filed a motion on July 3 asking the
appeals court to recall its mandate and delay its issuance until at least the
deadline to seek rehearing expired.
“Once the government removes or replaces the
interpretative materials, the city and the public will lose the benefit of the
existing historically grounded interpretation during the very period in which
the city is entitled to seek further review.
That harm cannot be adequately
remedied after the fact,” the motion stated.
The city of Philadelphia sued the National
Park Service and the Interior Department earlier this year after the agency removed explanatory panels of the
15-year-old “Freedom and Slavery in the Making of a New Nation” exhibit from
walls displayed at the President’s House site, which described the lives of nine African
Americans Washington enslaved in the 1790s.
The panels’ removal followed President Donald
Trump’s executive order directing the Interior
Department to ensure that public monuments “do not
contain descriptions, depictions, or other content that inappropriately
disparage Americans past or living.” The order states that many national parks
promoted what it described as “distorted narrative driven by ideology.”
The city had argued that the unilateral removal broke a
2006 cooperative agreement, the result of work by historians, stakeholders, and
community representatives to present the history of the location.
U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe granted the city’s motion in February and
ordered the National Park Service to restore the removed panels at the site.
But the Third Circuit Court of Appeals later reversed the injunction on June
18.
In a separate case, a three-judge panel of
the Boston-based First U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on July 2 stayed a lower court ruling requiring the
National Park Service to reinstall exhibits removed from national parks.
