Summary
The National Park Service removed Harriet Tubman’s image and quote from its “Underground Railroad” webpage, along with references to slavery and the Fugitive Slave Act.
The revision now emphasizes “American ideals of liberty” and downplays historical realities.
Historians and scholars condemned the move as a distortion of history and erasure of Tubman’s legacy.
The change aligns with broader Trump administration efforts to eliminate DEI content across federal sites, which critics say suppresses discussions of race, identity, and historical truth.
The white washing is just pathetic. MAGAts a such snowflakes.
This is about flexing their power. They are showing that they won and they are going to force their values down everyone else’s throat.
Don’t belittle them by calling them pathetic. Call it what it is.
This is fascism.
the fascists want to be acary and hate being called pathetic because it means we’re not scared of them. the fascists are pathetic
Fascism is pathetic. It’s extremely dangerous and causes massive suffering, but it’s also pathetic.
Yeah, well what’s the end game here …that white USAians never did anything bad, or that African Americans never did anything?
Something like that.
