The Francis Griffith Newlands fountain at Chevy Chase Circle on the Washington, DCMaryland border is seen on May 13, 2026, after a nearby interpretive panel about his racist views was removed in 2025. In a Washington suburb, a century-old fountain is dedicated to a long-dead, white supremacist senator. To placate modern-day residents, the National Park Service set up an interpretive panel that described his racist views. That is until the Trump administration took the sign away. An executive order from President Donald Trump on "restoring truth and sanity to American history" is changing how history is told at state-owned landmarks as the United States gears up for its 250th independence anniversary in July.
