The Kennedy Center board of trustees, handpicked by President Donald Trump, convened on Thursday to discuss plans to appeal a judge’s ruling. The ruling ordered the removal of Trump’s name from the building. The board voted to file an appeal, contesting US District Judge Casey Cooper’s decision, which stated that the board violated the law when it added Trump’s name to the historic performing arts venue.
Appeal Plans
The appeal is expected to be filed soon, according to a source familiar with the matter. The center has begun removing Trump’s name from its email signatures and website logo, but the exterior signage remains in place. The board also discussed a resolution to honor Trump, recognizing his contributions to the institution.
The resolution, which passed, acknowledges Trump’s dedication and commitment to the Kennedy Center. The board’s decision to appeal the ruling is seen as a move to uphold Trump’s legacy and maintain his name on the building.
