An image of and quote from Harriet Tubman have been removed from a National Parks webpage about the “Underground Railroad,” following several prominent changes to government websites under the Trump administration.

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.
