“Trump issued an executive order that took effect this fall (2025) and instructed the DOI to ensure memorials and monuments “do not contain descriptions, depictions, or other content that inappropriately disparage Americans’ past or living … and instead focus on the greatness of the achievements and progress of the American people”.

“The White House has ordered the removal of signs and exhibits documenting American slavery, including a 1863 portrait of an ex-slave, often referred to as either Peter or Gordon, and the thick, variegated whip scars on his ‘scourged back.’ Gordon’s photograph became one of the most widely circulated images of the horrors of U.S. slavery during the abolitionist movement.”

“This represents an enormous increase in federal power and control over the things we learn,” Jonathan Zimmerman, a University of Pennsylvania professor who studies the history of education, told the Post. “Brought to you by the team that says education should be state and local.”

March 2025, ‘More than brick and mortar:' DC begins removing ‘Black Lives Matter’ plaza near the White House

WASHINGTON (AP) — "Starlette Thomas remembers coming down almost daily to the intersection of 16th and H streets, to protest police brutality and systemic racial iniquities during the summer of 2020.

"On Monday, the 45-year old Bowie, Maryland resident returned to the site of those protests to mourn the end of Black Lives Matter Plaza.

" 'I needed to be here today. I can’t just let this go away,' Thomas said, as jackhammers began tearing into the giant yellow letters in the street. Thomas discretely secured a chunk of pavement and said holding it made her feel conflicted.

" 'To walk away with a piece of that, it means it’s not gone,' she said. 'It’s more than brick and mortar.'

"Crews started work Monday to remove the large yellow '#BlackLivesMatter' painted on the street one block from the White House. D.C. Mayor #MurielBowser announced the change last week in response to pressure from Republicans in Congress. The work is expected to take about six weeks and the words will be replaced by an unspecified set of city-sponsored murals.

"The painting of those words was an act of government-sponsored defiance during President Donald Trump’s first term. The removal amounts to a public acknowledgement of just how vulnerable the District of Columbia is now that Trump is back in the White House and Republicans control both houses of Congress.

"Bowser, a Democrat, ordered the painting and renamed the intersection #BlackLivesMatterPlaza in June 2020. It came after days of chaotic protests at that location following the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer; Bowser had clashed with #Trump over her handling of the protests.

"But now Bowser has little power to fend off encroachments on D.C.'s limited autonomy. Bowser said last week on X that, 'The mural inspired millions of people and helped our city through a painful period, but now we can’t afford to be distracted by meaningless congressional interference. The devastating impacts of the federal job cuts must be our number one concern.' "

#PensacolaFL will comply with state mandate to remove #BLM logo, but requests #FDOT help

Story by Jim Little, August 26, 2025

"Pensacola Mayor D.C. Reeves said city workers will not remove the #BlackLivesMatterMural on A Street, but instead requested that FDOT remove the mural.

"Reeves said at his weekly press conference on Aug. 26 that he spoke with FDOT District Three Secretary Tim Smith on Aug. 24 about the demand by FDOT that the mural be removed or otherwise risk state funding.

" 'Given the city of Pensacola's resources, manpower, and that we have to meet a very tight deadline, and the very close proximity that this project in question is to the largest east-west corridor that the state runs, Cervantes Street, we respectfully request that FDOT handle the execution of this mandate,' Reeves said.

"Reeves said the request is not meant to be adversarial to FDOT, and he sent an official written response to the agency before the press conference stating the same thing.

"Reeves said he believes Smith understood the city’s position and expected that the state would remove the mural.

"Smith sent a letter last week on behalf of FDOT demanding that Pensacola remove the '#BlackLivesMatter' mural on North A Street within two weeks or the state will come and remove it. If the city didn't comply, it would also risk losing state #TransportationFunding."

" . . . The point here is Trump. He is not smarter than I think. I suspect he’s never read a history book in his life, and chances are pretty decent he’s never been to a museum, except to galas Ivana dragged him to back when. And about his hardcore racism, there is utterly no question."
