In Popular Move, Kennedy Center Once Again Named 'Kennedy Center'
Now let's get his name off everything else!
TL;DR
- Donald Trump's name has been removed from the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.
- The removal followed a federal judge's ruling that the name addition was illegal as only Congress can authorize such changes.
- Workers erected scaffolding and used tarps to cover the removal process, which continued into the early morning.
- A crowd gathered and applauded as the letters of 'THE DONALD J. TRUMP AND' were taken down.
- The Kennedy Center beat a court-mandated deadline to complete the sign removal.
- Rep. Joyce Beatty sued the Kennedy Center board to have the name removed.
- Further litigation is expected, including a lawsuit from the Washington National Opera concerning its endowment and access to financial systems after Trump's involvement.
