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.
New quote:
“Immigrants mysteriously disappeared from their jobs in the South and reappeared in the North. No women were involved in this process.”
All of the workers in the south worked really hard for their boss and earned a promotion and moved into luxury in the north. All of these people were hardworking Americans and none of them were black
And provide some hope? Nah, if they are erasing history then they will just say “No slave ever successfully escaped. They were required by law to be returned if found and the North didn’t follow the law. The North, those law breakers, were trying to pick a fight for decades. The Noble South was attacked and lost their righteous cause due to brotherly betrayal.”
The white washing is just pathetic. MAGAts a such snowflakes.
Oh, ok, so now Civilization VII is more historically accurate than the National Park Service. That’s… ugh
Jesus fucking Christ
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.
The modern iteration of book burning creates a lot less smoke and noise, so it can fly under the radar.
Fucking racists
Holy fucking shit! This is it! I’ve had it! WTF!!!
When is the next protest?!
Holy flying fucking Jesus!
No need to wait. You got this.
There was a really big one on Saturday.
I know, when is the next one? One is not enough. Apparently these guys need us to watch everything they do. Like two year olds but evil and nazi.
The same people that organized Saturday’s protests put together this Lemmy community: https://50501.chat/
It looks like April 19th is the next one.
Thank you!
Dunno man. Shits gettin wild and isnt stopping anytime soon.
They’re just following orders. Like a good nazi
I wonder if black republicans will go back to picking cotton in order to own the libs.
Of course they will
Proof this trump administration hates black people? I think so.
The articles title is clickbait, they didn’t remove the references, they rewrote them.
Edit: I am not denying that it’s fucked up that they are touching this part of history, I just thought CNN’s title was clickbaity.
They rewrote them in a way to de-emphasize her involvement and contribution and to over emphasize the involvement and contribution of white people. And slavery has also been de-emphasized as well.
It’s an attempt to subtly erase black history. This is another white nationalist agenda item Trump’s administration is crossing of their to-do list.
When you rewrite something, you first remove something.
Proof this trump administration hates black people? I think so.
