Summary

Federal government installs reworked panels about slavery at George Washington's Philadelphia home, replacing previous historical context. This represents revision of historical narratives under cover of darkness.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

Monitor for pattern of broader historical revisionism across federal sites; verify factual accuracy of new panel content.

Why This Score

Minor symbolic panel change at historic site; low structural harm but high culture-war outrage potential, fits 'erasing history' narrative pattern.
