Trump’s name must be removed from Kennedy Center by June 12, memo to staff says

President Donald Trump’s name must be removed from the Kennedy Center by June 12, according to a memo sent Thursday to National Arts Center staff following a court ruling ruling that the name change was illegal.

The center’s general counsel’s office sent a memo Thursday directing staff to immediately remove the president’s name from electronic signatures, letterhead and other documents and replace it with “The Kennedy Center” or “The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.”

The letter also requests that all other templates and forms, signage, brochures and web pages be changed by June 12.

“The court found that the Council acted beyond its authority in adding President Trump’s name to the Center and gave the Center 14 days beginning May 29 to remove all references to the Center bearing the name of anyone other than John F. Kennedy,” the memo said.

The arts center’s board voted unanimously in December to add Trump’s name to the building, sparking legal challenges. The Kennedy family also condemned the decision.

Kerry Kennedy wrote on December 18 on X that “President Kennedy proudly stood for justice, peace, equality, dignity, diversity and compassion for those who suffer. President Trump opposes these values, and his name should not be placed alongside that of President Kennedy. »

“We are complying with the court order while evaluating all legal options to preserve this revitalization and recognize President Trump’s leadership,” Roma Daravi, vice president for public relations at the Kennedy Center, said in response to a request for comment from PBS News.

The court’s May 29 ruling on the name change was part of a broader ruling that the Kennedy Center board’s vote to close the facility for two years for renovations was “ill-informed.” U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said decisions about a future closure should be made in closer consultation with the board. In response, Trump said he was abandoning his renovation plans and would transfer oversight to Congress.

The memo sent Thursday said the center is “considering its options” regarding closing the center during renovations.
