Donald Trump’s Policies Target Black Americans
Donald Trump has pushed policies that try to erase Black voices and history. Since taking office on January 20, 2025, his policies have worked to hide the truth about Black America by attacking diversity programs, blocking real history, and targeting the places that share our stories.
Congressman Bennie G. Thompson says, “Black Americans have worked hard and sacrificed for generations. One man can’t silence our voice or erase our legacy.”
Donald Trump’s Policies Have Attacked Black Americans By:
- Removing Black Lives Matter Plaza and Ground Mural
- Signing an Executive Order attacking the National Museum of African American History
- Removing Black Historical Figures from National Websites
- Attacking HBCUs by reducing Dept. of Education Funding and Rolling Back DEI Initiatives
