“History cannot be faithfully told while excluding the experiences of communities whose contributions, struggles, & achievements form an important part of our Nation’s story,” the judge wrote.
The #Trump admin must also provide a status report every week describing the progress they’ve made with these changes, the judge wrote.
“Under the guise of promoting American dignity, this Administration seeks to share a limited history by ordering the removal of all signs, displays, and interpretive exhibits at #NationalParks that do not align with its preferred narrative, thereby telling half-truths,” Kelley wrote.
