- 摘要
- 特朗普试图重塑美国历史的叙事
- 新展板在夜间更换了旧展板
- 费城市长称此举可耻
华盛顿，7月15日（路透社）——周三，唐纳德·特朗普政府在乔治·华盛顿的费城故居增设了关于奴隶制的新信息展板，此前联邦上诉法院的一项裁决为改变这座国家历史遗址的奴隶制叙事扫清了道路。
美国内政部表示，新展板补充了历史背景，但费城市长表示，这座由民主党掌控的城市打算就该案的法律问题申请重审。这位共和党籍总统一直试图重塑历史机构和美国历史的叙事方式。

“昨晚，联邦政府趁夜色移除了总统府旧址上讲述费城完整历史的展板，”费城市长谢雷尔·帕克在一份声明中说道。
上个月，联邦上诉法院推翻了一名法官的裁决，该裁决曾阻止特朗普政府更换费城独立国家历史公园内的奴隶制展览。
改动后的标题
新展板虽然保留了关于奴隶制以及乔治·华盛顿奴役的奴隶的相关内容，但移除了旧展板上的部分标题，例如“奴隶制肮脏的交易”。新展板取而代之的标题是：“历年庆祝独立活动”。同时，新展板还删除了一张奴隶贸易路线地图。
“这些新展板充满了历史背景，突出了总统府旧址以及独立国家历史公园内其他场所发生的重大事件，”内政部在一份声明中说道。
该部门表示，新展板“承认了奴隶制的罪恶”。
国家公园保护协会负责文化资源的高级主任艾伦·斯皮尔斯对此表示担忧。
“这似乎是在试图淡化或美化独立国家历史公园内奴隶制历史的解读方式，”斯皮尔斯说道。
“我非常担忧这会影响我们国家公园作为我们共同国家叙事诚实传播者的角色履行。”
特朗普在第二任期内发表的声明和行政命令导致奴隶制展览被拆除、邦联雕像被恢复，以及其他举措，民权倡导者称这些举措可能逆转数十年来的社会进步，削弱对美国历史关键阶段的认知。他表示，他的目标是移除“反美国”意识形态。
白宫曾针对史密森尼学会的历史叙事方式发起攻击。美国历史学家组织等团体谴责特朗普的这些行动，称其服务于他的政治议程。
特朗普曾因声称“反向歧视”、称民权伤害了白人，以及指责博物馆“过于关注奴隶制的罪恶”而遭到民权团体的广泛谴责。

- Summary
- Trump has attempted to reshape portrayal of US history
- New panels replaced old ones overnight
- Philadelphia mayor casts step as shameful
WASHINGTON, July 15 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s administration put up new information panels on slavery at George Washington’s Philadelphia home on Wednesday, following a federal appeals court ruling that opened the way to changing how slavery is portrayed at the national historical site.
While the Department of the Interior said the new panels had historical context, Philadelphia’s mayor said the Democratic-led city intends to seek a rehearing of legal issues in the case. The Republican president has sought to reshape historical institutions and the portrayal of U.S. history.

“Overnight, under the cover of darkness, the federal government removed panels at the President’s House that told a thorough history of Philadelphia,” Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker said in a statement.
Last month, a federal appeals court overturned a judge’s ruling that prevented the Trump administration from replacing a slavery exhibit in Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia.
HEADLINES CHANGED
The new panels, while retaining references to slavery and those enslaved by George Washington, removed some headlines in the earlier panels, such as “The Dirty Business of Slavery.” The new panels instead read: “Celebrating Independence Throughout the Years.” They also exclude a map of slave trade routes.
“These new panels are full of historical context and highlight the momentous events that took place in the President’s House and the other sites at Independence National Historical Park,” the Department of the Interior said in a statement.
The department said the new panels “acknowledge the evils of slavery.”
The change concerned Alan Spears, senior director for cultural resources at the National Parks Conservation Association.
“This appears to be an effort to soften or sanitize the way the history of slavery is interpreted at Independence National Historical Park,” Spears said.
“And I have grave concerns about how this impacts the ability of our national parks to fulfill their role as honest brokers of our shared national narrative.”
Trump’s declarations and executive orders in his second term have led to the dismantling of slavery exhibits, the restoration of Confederate statues and other moves that civil rights advocates say could reverse decades of social progress and undermine the acknowledgment of critical phases of American history. He has said he aims to remove “anti-American” ideology.
The White House has targeted the Smithsonian Institution over its portrayal of history. Groups such as the Organization of American Historians have condemned Trump’s actions, saying they serve his political agenda.
Trump has been widely rebuked by civil rights groups for citing “reverse discrimination,” for saying civil rights have hurt white people, and for saying museums focused too much on “how bad Slavery was.”
