PHILADELPHIA, PA – Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02) released the following statement after a federal judge ruled against the Trump administration’s removal of exhibits referencing the brutality of slavery at Independence National Historical Park, which is located in Boyle’s district:

“I strongly opposed the Trump Administration’s decision to remove these exhibits, and I welcome the federal court’s ruling that they must be restored.

I am proud of our country and its founding ideals. Preserving our nation’s ideals depends on telling the full truth about our history, the good and the bad. I will continue fighting to ensure these exhibits are fully restored and accessible to the public.”
