Deleting black history

Axios - America's 250th anniversary is colliding with a renewed battle over Black history, as the White House moves to smooth over and narrow how race and equity are discussed, Axios' Delano Massey writes.

• Federal agencies and cultural institutions have deleted or revised Black history content in response to President Trump's anti-DEI mandate, which the administration says restores neutrality.

The National Park Service recently removed or revised dozens of signs and displays related to the mistreatment of Native Americans and slavery — including a Philadelphia exhibit on the enslaved people George Washington held at the President's House.

• One report found that more than 6,700 federal datasets involving minority groups have been deleted, on topics including maternal mortality, sickle cell disease and environmental exposure in historically redlined neighborhoods.
