## Resource

A federal judge ordered the Kennedy Center to remove Donald Trump’s name from its title within two weeks, ruling his addition was illegal and only Congress can change the center’s name. Workers were already preparing to take down the signage before the deadline. The decision followed a lawsuit by Rep. Joyce Beatty and came after Trump, who didn’t attend the Kennedy Center Honors during his first term, reshaped the board and pushed for the name change. The center has already scrubbed Trump’s name from its website and emails, reverting to “The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.” The judge also temporarily halted a major two-year renovation, adding to the whirlwind of legal and identity shifts at the iconic venue.
