The order comes less than a month after the president declared that America “cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE"



One of the most famous Civil War–era portraits of a slave will reportedly be removed from national parks and museums under the Trump administration

An 1863 photo taken of escaped enslaved man Gordon titled “The Scourged Back,” which shows “severe whipping scars,” is at the center of the debate

Images reportedly under review by the Trump administration “include signs referring to racial discrimination and the hostility of White people,” according to the Washington Post


In an article published by the Washington Post on Monday, Sept. 15, the outlet reported that four anonymous sources familiar with the matter said the removal orders are tied to the 79-year-old’s March 27 executive order titled "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," which directs the Interior Department “to eliminate information that reflects a ‘corrosive ideology’ that disparages historic Americans.”

5. Is that why there are no photos of him in a swim suit?

Must have terrible scars.
Seen lots of pictures of his wife without clothes on. Never of him. Strange?

8. The photo will be replaced by one of Ivanka when she was fourteen.

There should be a nationwide effort to print the slave picture printed and posted as many places as possible .
My printer is ready, set, go.

10. NO PRESIDENT HAS THE AUTHORITY TO RE-WRITE HISTORY

Just because it offends his delicate ego.

I am SICK to the point of PUKING BLOOD over this administration's trying to white-wash and erase this nation's history. For better or worse, every event that shaped this country has brought us education, enlightenment, empathy, and reckoning with what has happened here.

And NO PRESIDENT, certainly not a pathological liar, a convicted rapist, a 34-count felon and a RACIST bigoted buffoon like trmp can be permitted to do so.

Call your congress people and DEMAND a stop to this BULLSHIT. IMMEDIATELY.

Part of the Executive Order:

“to eliminate information that reflects a ‘corrosive ideology’ that disparages historic Americans.”

" "disparages" " 🙄
Well, drumphf, this truth should hurt!
Just one part of the hideousness of being enslaved; besides originally being ripped away from your homeland. Arrgggg!
