Kennedy Center tells court it won’t try to restore Trump’s name to the building before Sept. 8
The Kennedy Center has informed a federal court that it will not try to put President Donald Trump's name back on the building's façade before at least September 8. This comes amid another legal dispute over the future of the performing arts venue. Opponents of the move argue that members of the Kennedy Center's Trump-aligned board are trying to ignore a previous court order to remove the president's name from the building.
The center has stated it will not proceed with the plans until after Labor Day at the earliest to allow time for legal arguments. The board previously voted to add Trump's name to the venue's façade and rename the plaza in front of the building after him. They also agreed to a two-year closure for renovations, with some programming taking place at off-site locations.
