The grant termination notice states that β€œ[the] grant is no longer consistent with the [IMLS’s] priorities and no longer serves the interest of the United States and the IMLS Program.”

We condemn the federal government's attempt to erase Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray’s legacy, including removing pages and altering language about their transgender and queer identities on the NPS website.

Federal Agency Deletes Website Page On Durham's Pauli Murray; Censors Other References to Queer History Numerous National Park Service websites have been censored in recent weeks in response to an executive order.

Jesse Huddleston, board chair at Durham’s Pauli Murray Center, said they first noticed the website page deletion yesterday.

β€œThis is our shared history,” Huddleston told the INDY. β€œYou’re not just erasing LGBTQ history.”
