Description
The webpage used to lead with both an image and quote from Tubman. But a comparison of the webpages between late January and mid-March shows those items have since been removed.
Several references to enslaved people and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 are also gone. The webpage now leads with commemorative stamps of various civil rights leaders, including the phrase "Black-White cooperation."
This is part of a trend in which several government websites have recently been changed as the Trump Administration enacts a campaign to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion.
