First Felon Donald Trump doesn't even bother to hide his racism anymore (Harriet Tubman edition)

 

Headline:  CNN, 4/6/2025

Zoe Sottile reports how the Trump administration is whitewashing history:

The National Parks Service webpage for the “Underground Railroad” used to lead with a quote from Tubman, the railroad’s most famous “conductor”, a comparison on the Wayback Machine between the webpage on January 21 and March 19 shows. Both the quote and an image of Tubman have since been removed, along with several references to “enslaved” people and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. 

The Washington Post first reported on the changes. The webpage now leads with commemorative stamps of various civil rights leaders with text including the phrase “Black/White Cooperation.”
