Former park rangers teach Black history after Trump-era exhibit removal

cultureJun 26, 2026362,306

Former National Park Service employees organized as Resistance Rangers are hosting teach-ins and public programs to present Black history that the Trump administration removed from federal park exhibits ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary, NPR reports. The group helped found an education coalition called America 433+ named for the 433 sites in the National Park System and is holding protests, teach-ins, and events this summer to preserve and share the censored material. At sites where buildings remain locked and removed signs are not on display, former ranger Kerwin and others are continuing to teach the same histories in person. The removals began after an executive order described by officials as aiming to change how history is presented, and they have prompted lawsuits and protests seeking restoration of the materials. Resistance Rangers also wrote to Interior Secretary Burgum about the department’s efforts to avoid complying with a court order to restore signs and materials removed from national parks. Those actions have kept the removed histories visible to visitors and triggered ongoing legal and public-pressure efforts to force exhibit restoration.

Former NOAA staffers have launched a new website that provides climate information. It replaces a government site that was shut down when the Trump administration took office. n.pr/4aWVKvt

Genuine kudos to these incredible, hardworking and brilliant people AND this is inspiring in the same way that the "kid runs a lemonade stand to raise funds for his best friend's cancer treatment" is inspiring.

Maybe this is a hot take but i don’t think it’s a good thing that a major scientific endeavor has had to resort to the worker-run media startup model to continue

This is the way... Go active and invest in our collective futures. Don't forget to document/journal what we've lost, how we lost it, and who said what and when. This will be important to establish a chain of culpability for future trials to prosecute those who have worked to undermine America.

“The new site re-creates the old ‘climate dashboard’…. It also features Climate.gov's 15-year collection of climate news and stories, expert blogs, visual status reports on key climate indicators, maps and data pathways, climate literacy resources and classroom materials, according to the site.”
