  • 摘要
  • 诉讼称内政部正在国家公园中抹去历史
  • 联邦法官周一下令在费城重新安装奴隶制展览
  • 特朗普的行政命令针对公园和纪念碑中的”修正主义运动”

波士顿,2月7日(路透社) – 代表公园保护主义者、历史学家和科学家的多个团体周二提起诉讼,要求阻止唐纳德·特朗普总统政府从公园和纪念碑中删除相关信息。此前,涉及奴隶制和气候变化等主题的展品和标牌已被移除。

美国国家公园保护协会、美国州与地方历史协会以及另外四个团体在波士顿联邦法院提起的诉讼中称,美国内政部正在开展”持续抹去历史和破坏科学的运动”。

诉讼指出,该部门从公园中移除标牌和展品,违反了国会关于超过430个国家公园景点运营方式的规定,并实施了一项非法政策,对为何必须移除各种标牌和展品没有给出合理说明。

美国国家公园保护协会文化资源高级主任艾伦·斯皮尔斯在一份声明中表示:”在国家公园中审查科学和抹去美国历史,直接威胁到这些令人惊叹的地方以及我们国家所代表的一切。”

美国内政部未回应置评请求。

这起案件是周二提起的两起诉讼之一,旨在挑战特朗普政府作为更广泛议程一部分对其管辖范围内的国家纪念碑和公园所做的变更。

几个社区组织在纽约提起诉讼称,内政部非法移除了石墙国家纪念碑(Stonewall National Monument)上的彩虹旗,该纪念碑是首个纪念LGBTQ权利运动的国家纪念碑。

波士顿这起案件的诉讼是在宾夕法尼亚州联邦法官下令国家公园管理局重新安装费城独立国家历史公园总统官邸遗址的奴隶制历史展览后一天提起的。该展览描述了奴隶制历史以及美国第一任总统乔治·华盛顿对被奴役者的所有权。

诉讼称,特朗普在2025年3月签署行政命令后,拆除了多个相关展品。该命令将美国描述为”本质上种族主义、性别歧视、压迫性或其他不可救药有缺陷的国家”,并将其称为”错误的历史修正”。

特朗普的命令指示内政部恢复那些被移除或更改的公园、纪念碑和纪念馆,以延续白宫所谓的”错误历史修正”。

诉讼称,内政部长道格·伯加姆随后发布的实施特朗普指示的命令,使国家公园管理局识别出数百个标牌和材料,并已开始从全国公园中移除。

其中包括缅因州阿卡迪亚国家公园中描述气候变化对公园影响以及卡迪拉克山对该地区本土瓦班基人的重要性的标牌。

US groups sue to block Trump effort to rid parks of history, science information

  • Summary
  • Lawsuit claims Interior Department is erasing history at national parks
  • Federal judge on Monday ordered reinstallation of slavery exhibit in Philadelphia
  • Trump’s executive order targets ‘revisionist movement’ in parks, monuments

BOSTON, Feb 7 (Reuters) – Groups representing park conservationists, historians and scientists filed a lawsuit on Tuesday seeking to prevent President Donald Trump’s administration from scrubbing information from parks and monuments, after exhibits and signs touching on topics like slavery and climate change were removed.

The National Parks Conservation Association, American Association for State and Local History and four other groups argue in a lawsuit filed in Boston federal court that the U.S. Department of the Interior is engaged in a “sustained campaign to erase history and undermine science.”

The lawsuit argues the department is removing signs and exhibits from parks in violation of mandates from Congress governing how more than 430 national park sites should be operated and has adopted an unlawful policy that lacks any reasoned explanation for why various signs and exhibits must be removed.

“Censoring science and erasing America’s history at national parks are direct threats to everything these amazing places, and our country, stand for,” Alan Spears, senior director of cultural resources at the National Parks Conservation Association, said in a statement.

The Interior Department did not respond to a request for comment.

The case was one of two filed on Tuesday challenging changes the department had implemented at national monuments and parks under its jurisdiction as part of Trump’s broader agenda.

Several community organizations filed a lawsuit in New York arguing the department had unlawfully removed the Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument, the first national monument dedicated to the LGBTQ rights movement.

The case in Boston was filed a day after a federal judge in Pennsylvania ordered the National Park Service to reinstall an exhibit that was removed from the President’s House Site at the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia that described the history of slavery and the ownership of enslaved people by President George Washington, the nation’s first president.

Tuesday’s lawsuit said that exhibit was one of several removed after Trump signed an executive order in March 2025 targeting what he called a “revisionist movement” that portrayed the U.S. as “inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed.”

Trump’s order directed the Interior Department to restore parks, monuments and memorials that had been removed or changed to perpetuate what the White House called a “false revision of history.”

The lawsuit said that following a subsequent order from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum implementing Trump’s directive, the National Park Service had identified hundreds of signs and materials that it has begun removing from parks nationwide.

Among them are signs that were posted in Maine’s Acadia National Park that described the impact of climate change on the park and the significance of Cadillac Mountain to the Wabanaki people who are indigenous to the region.
