PHILADELPHIA — The National Park Service proposes to rehabilitate Welcome Park to provide a more welcoming, accurate, and inclusive experience for visitors. Welcome Park was designed by the internationally acclaimed design firm Venturi & Scott Brown Associates. The park is located on the site of William Penn's home, the Slate Roof House, and is named for the ship, Welcome, which transported Penn to Philadelphia. The design and construction of Welcome Park was funded by the Independence Historical Trust and was completed in 1982.
The proposed rehabilitation of Welcome Park includes expanded interpretation of the Native American history of Philadelphia and was developed in consultation with representatives of the indigenous nations of the Haudenosaunee, the Delaware Nation, Delaware Tribe of Indians, the Shawnee Tribe, and the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma. The reimagined Welcome Park maintains certain aspects of the original design such as the street grid, the rivers and the east wall while adding a new planted buffer on three sides, and a ceremonial gathering space with circular benches. The Penn statue and Slate Roof house model will be removed and not reinstalled. In a separate and future effort, new exhibit panels will be installed on the south site wall to replace the Penn timeline.

The public is invited to submit comments on this proposed design for the rehabilitation of Welcome Park for a 14-day period from January 8th – 21st, 2024 through the National Park Service’s Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) at https://parkplanning.nps.gov. Comments submitted through social media, phone calls, email or mail will not be accepted. All public comments must be received through PEPC by midnight Sunday, January 21st, 2024.

Might as well rename the whole state at this point.

It's weird how leftists operate - they talk about being inclusive, but all they do is exclude people, generally the white people, while doing nothing at all for the groups they name drop in their press releases.

The cultural war is accelerating.

Penn not welcome at Welcome Park

So is this one of the examples where the small % gets their way?
The board leftist continues to remind us how it's just a small crowd that yells the loudest. How they don't represent the majority. Well it seems like they get their way when it comes to these kinds of things.
It's Bs.

Suppose they should remove him from the top of City Hall as well, and rename the state Indigenousylvania.

This random plaza in Philadelphia is not a National Park.

Next goal is to remove the Rocky statue because he beat up black men and a Communist while crowds cheered.

Ibe would think the people of PENNsylvania might have a fricking problem with this.

Communist style Cultural Revolution picking up steam.
Just as Trump said would happen.

one of the steps to installing communism....

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings," substituting shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. " Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

Then it will fall into disuse and neglect due to lack of interest.

I am sure the NPS will place the statue and model in another location within the park... and not destroy them...

I thought the liberal narrative was: Those who fought against the US (“the losers”) aren’t worthy of memorializing?

These communists are re writing history.

Imagine 100 years from now there's a Joe Burrow statue on LSU campus and it gets taken down just because Joe was white.
