The Kennedy Center’s trustees have voted to oppose a federal judge’s directive to remove former President Donald Trump’s name from the center’s exterior. The decision was made on Thursday to seek a stay of the order by U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, who mandated that Trump’s name be taken down by Friday.
According to sources familiar with the meeting, the trustees aim to challenge Judge Cooper’s ruling, which declared the renaming of the center unauthorized. These sources, who requested anonymity due to concerns about possible consequences, indicated that the board plans to appeal the decision.
The vote reflects the board’s determination to contest the order amid legal debates surrounding the naming rights of the performing arts center.
