A US judge has ordered the National Park Service to restore a slavery exhibit in Philadelphia that shows nine people enslaved by George Washington. The panels were removed under a Trump administration order to change how history is shown at national sites. The order aimed to remove content seen as "disparaging" Americans. US District Judge Cynthia Rufe said the government acted like the "Ministry of Truth" in George Orwell’s novel 1984. She said, "It does not" have the power to rewrite history. The judge also banned the Trump officials from replacing the panels with altered history. The exhibit at Independence National Historical Park was created 20 years ago. It included stories of the enslaved, including two who escaped. The removal was part of a wider Trump effort to soften or erase some parts of US history. Local leaders praised the ruling. State Representative Malcolm Kenyatta told reporters, "Philadelphians fought back, and I could not be more proud of how we stood together." Brendan Boyle, another representative, said, "I’m proud of our country and its founding ideals. That means we tell the full truth about our history, the good and the bad." The case continues as the lawsuit challenges the legality of removing the panels. The Trump administration did not immediately comment.
