Panel Discussion on Philadelphia's President's House

From 1790 to 1800, Philadelphia was the US capitol and presidents George Washington and John Adams lived here. In 2010, the site where their house once stood was turned into an outdoor exhibit called The President's House: Freedom and Slavery in the Making of a New Nation. On January 22, 2026, the exhibit was torn down based on an executive order from the White House. The four panelists, who were instrumental in organizing the exhibit in the early 2000s, will discuss its content and current status.
