In new filings, Kennedy Center says it won't try to put Trump's name on facade until Sept. 8

The Kennedy Center has delayed plans to install a Trump name plaque on its facade until September 8, amid legal challenges from Rep. Joyce Beatty's lawyers who requested a speedy ruling on the renovation and tarping of the entrance. This move comes as the National Symphony Orchestra announces its new season elsewhere, signaling a growing rift with the institution. The delay and these developments highlight the ongoing tensions surrounding the center's handling of its controversial history and future, reflecting broader debates about public monuments and political legacies.
