A series of informational signs about slavery was removed Thursday from the President's House historic site in Old City Philadelphia. The President’s House site, located at 6th and Market streets, was once the home of Presidents George Washington and John Adams. When it was built, local activists urged the creators to include information about the enslaved people who lived at the home. Those stories made it into the final exhibit. Then, in September, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at removing "ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives." Trump's executive order, "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," specifically mentioned Philadelphia's Independence National Historic Park, home of the Liberty Bell and the President's House, and the Smithsonian Institution's museums.
