Democratic Rep. Terri Sewell urged her constituents to mobilize in order to pressure the Trump administration to reverse course on some of its efforts to revise history.
The Alabama lawmaker said this approach has already gotten results, pointing to the Department of Government Efficiency removing the Montgomery Greyhound Bus Station from a list of federal historic sites it initially listed as for sale and calling it a “win” for the Democratic Party.
“When we amplify our voices, when we call out the outrageousness of the actions that are being taken, they have a tendency to reverse their orders,” Sewell said Tuesday during a telephone town hall in response to a question her staff read from a constituent about what she was doing to prevent the Trump administration from erasing Black history.
