PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A federal appeals court panel says the Trump administration can replace a slavery exhibit at George Washington’s home in Philadelphia. A three-judge panel of the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday struck down a lower court’s injunction that required the National Park Service to reinstall the interpretive panels. The unanimous ruling by the panel said a lower court judge wrongly interpreted Philadelphia’s contract claims involving Independence National Historical Park. The ruling comes a week after a Massachusetts federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore sites changed under an executive order. It’s not clear how that ruling would affect the Philadelphia site.
