President’s House slavery exhibit: Hundreds gather in Philly to call for re-installation

Hundreds of people attended a rally Tuesday afternoon at the President’s House site on Independence Mall to demand the return of the slavery exhibit that was abruptly removed by members of the National Park Service last month.

With speeches from historians, faith leaders, city and state officials, and tour guides, the rally was organized by Avenging the Ancestors Coalition, a group that had a key role in ensuring that the story of enslaved people was told at the site.
