What's driving the attention

Interest in national parks has increased dramatically, especially in California, after several federal judges ordered the restoration of signs and historical plaques that were removed or altered under directives from the Trump administration. These rulings address controversies over the portrayal of sensitive historical topics such as slavery and other narratives in park exhibits.
