The Trump administration removed the rainbow Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument in New York City, citing a federal order that only the U.S. flag or official government logos can fly on National Park Service property. The move has sparked widespread outrage from politicians and LGBTQ+ advocates, who see it as an attempt to erase history and community pride.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, director Pierre Terjanian responded to accusations that recent layoffs disproportionately targeted people of color, denying any racial profiling. He announced the creation of a new "People in Culture" HR position aimed at fostering inclusion and staff mobility, while also acknowledging the firing of the museum's only Native American curator just before the reopening of galleries focused on Indigenous art.
