this is so messed up! they're literally erasing history. like, can't we just confront our dark pasts instead of trying to cover them up? 
I mean, i get that it's not easy to acknowledge the harm done by our ancestors, but pretending it didn't happen isn't going to make it go away. and what's next? are they gonna take down all the other historical exhibits too? it's like we're trying to rewrite our own history book instead of learning from the mistakes of the past 
I'm low-key shocked 
, high-key disappointed... just kidding, I'm actually super confused. Like, what's next? Removing all the historical reenactments from Disneyland? 
I guess it's like that one aunt who always clears out the attic and decides to get rid of everything old and "irrelevant". Sorry not sorry, George Washington 
.
But seriously, this is a major bummer. It's like America is trying to hide its dark history under a blanket... or maybe just a nice comfy couch cushion
. I mean, come on, we know we had slavery, it's all in our textbooks! Why do we need to remember? Well, besides being super important and educational, of course 
.
I'm all for progress and updating exhibits, but not at the expense of our history books... or our collective memory. Can't we just have a little bit of both? Maybe have a " Warning: slavery and racism ahead" sign before you enter the exhibit? Just kidding, sorta 
.
Anyway, this is going to be an interesting development. Hope our city's administration can get some justice done... or at least provide a good excuse for why they need to remove all the exhibits from Independence Hall

.OMG, like what is goin' on!!! 
They gotta bring down an exhibit about slavery? Like, we cant even talk about our dark past without gettin all salty, you feel? 
I mean, I get it, its painful history but erasin it dont make it less real. What's next? Removin all the statues of George Washington from the country? 
The NPS is just tryna cover up the fact that America has a messy past and they cant just gloss over it. But like, isn't that what we're tryin to learn from our mistakes? 
I hope the city takes them to court and keeps that exhibit up for good. Its so important for us to remember where we came from.
