YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Donald Trump's name has been removed from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., after a judge ruled its addition was illegal. The Kennedy Center's board, which was handpicked by Trump, voted to add his name to the center late last year.

"This is just the first step in rebuilding the trust that has been lost," says Mallory Miller, who was fired from her job as assistant manager of dance programming at the Kennedy Center in August 2025. She is the co-founder of Hands Off the Arts, a group that has been rallying outside the Kennedy Center every week.
