The National Park Service has ordered the removal of quotes about slavery, immigrants, and war from the Bunker Hill Monument in Boston in order to comply with an executive order from Donald Trump.
The site commemorating a major battle fought there during the Revolutionary War will no longer feature the quotes after one woman complained that another plaque featuring a quote related to women’s suffrage was “woke” feminist ideology, The Washington Post reported.
The complaint triggered a wider review, with the National Park Service finding that the other three quotes violated Trump’s March 2025 order to restore “truth and sanity” to American history by removing references that frame it as “inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed.”
