The order comes less than a month after the president declared that America “cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE"



One of the most famous Civil War–era portraits of a slave will reportedly be removed from national parks and museums under the Trump administration

An 1863 photo taken of escaped enslaved man Gordon titled “The Scourged Back,” which shows “severe whipping scars,” is at the center of the debate

Images reportedly under review by the Trump administration “include signs referring to racial discrimination and the hostility of White people,” according to the Washington Post


In an article published by the Washington Post on Monday, Sept. 15, the outlet reported that four anonymous sources familiar with the matter said the removal orders are tied to the 79-year-old’s March 27 executive order titled "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," which directs the Interior Department “to eliminate information that reflects a ‘corrosive ideology’ that disparages historic Americans.”
