Summary
The National Park Service removed Harriet Tubman’s image and quote from its “Underground Railroad” webpage, along with references to slavery and the Fugitive Slave Act.
The revision now emphasizes “American ideals of liberty” and downplays historical realities.
Historians and scholars condemned the move as a distortion of history and erasure of Tubman’s legacy.
The change aligns with broader Trump administration efforts to eliminate DEI content across federal sites, which critics say suppresses discussions of race, identity, and historical truth.
In other news, Harriet Tubman has been collecting social security for 200 years and her remains have been deported back to her own country of El Salvador.
Makes sense, after all she was a DEI hire.
