Trump's name removed from Kennedy Center after court order

Crews began removing Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center's marquee on Saturday, March 23, 2024, following a court order. The removal process, which involved erecting scaffolding, commenced after being delayed by storms on Friday, March 22. The court order stemmed from a lawsuit filed by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on behalf of former employees who alleged that Trump's name was placed on the building without proper authorization and in violation of labor laws. The NLRB sought to have the name removed as part of a settlement agreement. The Kennedy Center, a performing arts venue, had its name associated with Trump following a significant donation from his family in 1999. However, the recent legal action focused on the circumstances surrounding the placement and continued presence of the name. The removal is expected to be completed within the week, according to a statement released by the center's management.
