exhibition canceled by trump dei ban opens 1234755467

An exhibition titled "Before the Americas," originally scheduled to open at the Art Museum of the Americas in Washington, D.C., was canceled after the Trump administration deemed it a DEI program and cut its funding. The show, which surveys work by Afro-Latino, Caribbean, and African American artists from the Greater Washington area, has now opened at Gillespie Gallery at George Mason University School of Art in Fairfax, Virginia, thanks to about 50 to 60 private donors who stepped in to fund it. Curated by Cheryl Edwards, the exhibition features 39 artists from 17 countries, including Amy Sherald, Renee Stout, Alma Thomas, Elizabeth Catlett, and Alonzo Davis, and runs through November 15 before traveling to the University of Maryland Global Campus.

trump orders national park remove scourged back photograph 1234751971

Donald Trump has ordered a national park to remove a famous 1863 photograph of an enslaved man known as 'The Scourged Back,' which shows his scarred back from brutal whippings. The Washington Post reported the order on September 15, citing anonymous sources, and noted that multiple national parks are affected by directives targeting signs and exhibits related to slavery. The specific park impacted was later identified as Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in West Virginia, with the President's House Site in Philadelphia also potentially affected. The order follows a broader crackdown on what the Trump administration calls 'corrosive ideology' in American museums, including a March executive order targeting Smithsonian-run institutions.
