Press Release  Governor Healey Statement on President Trump’s Attempt to Erase Crucial Parts of Massachusetts History from Bunker Hill Monument

Boston — Governor Maura Healey issued the following statement regarding the removal of historic content from the Bunker Hill Monument site by the National Park Service: 

“Massachusetts is where the American Revolution began. We're also the birthplace of the abolition movement, a constant leader in civil rights movements and a state made stronger by our immigrant communities. As we celebrate MA250 and America250, it is a disgrace that President Trump is attempting to erase voices and perspectives from one of our nation's most important historic sites. That's not preserving history. That's censoring it. President Trump doesn't get to decide which parts of our history are worth remembering.”
