The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. removed former President Donald Trump’s name from its Hall of Nations early Saturday morning. The removal occurred less than six months after the naming rights were granted. A judge previously ruled that renaming the venue required congressional approval, a process not followed in this instance. The Kennedy Center had initially added Trump’s name as a gesture of gratitude for a substantial donation he made to the institution. The decision to remove the name followed a lawsuit brought by individuals objecting to the renaming. The Center complied with the court order to restore the hall’s original name. This action concludes a brief and controversial chapter in the Kennedy Center’s history.
