The Trump administration removed 57 exhibits, signs, books, and other materials from national parks and monuments across the United States, according to a court filing released on June 17.
The removals were part of a broader effort by the administration to eliminate content that officials believed either did not focus on the natural beauty of parks or 'disparaged Americans past or living.'
The court filing was submitted after a federal judge ordered the administration to reveal exactly what materials had been removed from parks and monuments nationwide.
The removed materials dealt with topics such as slavery and climate change, which had been displayed in parks and monuments across the country.
The list of removed items includes exhibits, interpretive signs, and printed materials used by visitors to learn about history and culture.
The removals were linked to an executive order signed by President Donald Trump during the early months of his second term.
The executive order directed federal officials to review monuments, memorials, statues, and related materials across the country, as cited by USA Today.
