The Trump administration has replaced an exhibit on slavery at the site of President George Washington’s home in Philadelphia with a version that historians say whitewashes the nation’s history. The new exhibit was installed Wednesday morning in the same area where the Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776.
