The racial snowflakes of the Trump administration have been so triggered by a famous photograph of a scarred former slave that they demanded its removal from a national park.
The Washington Post reports that it was part of a larger Trump administration order to remove signs and exhibits related to slavery at “multiple national parks.”
According to Wikimedia Commons, the photo of Peter Gordon was taken April 2, 1863 by Mathew Benjamin Brady. It was originally captioned, “Overseer Artayou Carrier whipped me. I was two months in bed sore from the whipping. My master come after I was whipped; he discharged the overseer. The very words of poor Peter, taken as he sat for his picture.”

The latest orders include removing information at Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in West Virginia, two people familiar with the matter said, where the abolitionist John Brown led a raid seeking to arm slaves for a revolt. Staff have also been told that information at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, where George Washington kept slaves, does not comply with the policy, according to a third individual.
