Revising History: How the Trump Administration Aims to Rewrite America's Past

In response to public outcry, the National Park Service reinstated its original Underground Railroad webpage, featuring abolitionist Harriet Tubman. The previous removal of her image and quotes sparked concerns over the Trump administration's efforts to sanitize American history. Tubman, a key “conductor,” symbolizes the struggle for freedom against slavery. This incident reflects a broader trend of revising historical narratives, as seen in the restoration of tributes to Jackie Robinson and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. Such actions threaten to obscure critical aspects of America's past.
