81% Informative

Review of websites operated by the National Park Service found that edits on dozens of pages since Trump ’s inauguration have already softened descriptions of some of the most shameful moments of American history.

The vast majority of changes on thousands of Park Service webpages were routine; a handful added mentions of slavery or slaves.

Changes were made to multiple Park Service pages about the Underground Railroad .

A statement about the legacy of John Brown , who hoped to start a revolt by enslaved people in the run-up to the Civil War , was removed from a page on the website of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park in West Virginia .

A page about the Niagara Movement , a group founded in 1905 by African American civil rights leader W.E.B. Du Bois , was changed to remove two references to the struggle for “equality”.
