'Absolutely sickening': Trump admin tears down slavery exhibits near Independence Hall

President Donald Trump's officials took down the educational exhibits on slavery in Independence National Park in Philadelphia on Thursday, triggering immediate outrage.

According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, the move, which comes the same week as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, occurred at the site of the President's House, the former mansion of George Washington when Philadelphia served as the national capital. The exhibits were a memorial to nine people whom Washington held in slavery at that location.
