A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration cannot remove references to slavery and climate change from exhibits and signs in national parks. U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley issued a preliminary injunction on 12 June ordering the National Park Service to restore the materials nationwide and stop further changes.
The decision followed a February lawsuit by conservation, historical and scientific organisations. They argued that the removals breached laws governing the National Park Service and represented an effort to sanitise the historical record for visitors. The materials must be reinstated before the Fourth of July.
