Philadelphia — Around 5 a.m. on July 15, Attorney Michael Coard and other members of Avenging the Ancestors Coalition (ATAC) learned that the panels making up the President’s House and enslavement exhibit near the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia were being pulled down behind tarps under federal guard.

They discovered that the exhibit had been completely replaced with new panels that whitewash and distort the facts that the original panels presented, regarding the horrors of enslavement. All the explanatory video presentation screens were disabled. Also for the first time, surveillance cameras were installed around the exhibit.
