PHILADELPHIA — Workers are restoring an exhibit depicting the history of the nine people who were once enslaved in Philadelphia amid a legal battle between the city and the Trump administration.
Mayor Cheryl Parker visited the site Thursday morning and saw the work being done, spokesman Joe Grace said.
A federal judge set a deadline on Friday for the Department of the Interior to return the exhibit on people enslaved by George Washington at the former president’s home in Independence Mall.
U.S. District Judge Cynthia Roof issued the deadline on Wednesday even as the Justice Department appealed it to request To re-exhibit.
