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.
“Eliminate DEI content” actually means “government-sponsored open bigotry”.
Yeah, this isn’t DEI, and the media needs to call that out.
If by “this,” you mean the reference towards Tubman, then you’re wrong. Talking about the accomplishments of anyone who isn’t a straight white Christian man IS promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion! DEI is a good thing! Opposing it is explicitly racist!
New quote:
“Immigrants mysteriously disappeared from their jobs in the South and reappeared in the North. No women were involved in this process.”
