Overview

• The National Park Service restored Harriet Tubman's image and quote on its Underground Railroad webpage after criticism from historians and the public.
• The changes, implemented in February, had removed Tubman's prominent presence and softened references to slavery, emphasizing 'Black/White Cooperation' instead.
• Officials stated that the edits were made without approval from senior leadership, highlighting internal mismanagement in content revisions.
• The edits are part of a broader Trump administration initiative to roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts across federal agencies.
• While the Tubman content has been restored, other controversial changes to historical narratives on federal websites remain under scrutiny.
