Kennedy Center Board Fights Court Order to Strip Trump’s Name From Building

The Kennedy Center’s board is making a final attempt to halt a judicial mandate requiring the elimination of President Trump’s name from the Washington performing arts venue’s exterior before this Friday’s court-imposed deadline.

The leadership of the cultural institution is working against the clock to challenge the legal decision that would strip the presidential designation from the facility’s facade.

The board’s emergency action comes as the Friday cutoff approaches for complying with the court’s directive to remove the name from the building.
