President Donald Trump‘s name has been removed from the Kennedy Center after a federal appeals court declined to block a judge’s order requiring the arts institution to restore its original name. It was only a few hours late for meeting their court-ordered deadline of midnight Friday night.
Workers spent the early hours of Saturday dismantling the signage from the Washington landmark, drawing a crowd of onlookers who gathered outside the building to watch the process unfold. Journalists and spectators documented the removal throughout the night, including an 11-hour livestream by journalist Jim Acosta that tracked the operation from start to finish.
