A 47-page standard-size, full-color zine documenting the National Park Service’s “Life Under Slavery at George Washington House” Exhibit—removed by the government January 22, 2026 in an act of censorship.

Exhibit, text by the National Park Service; photos of exhibit by Stan Horowitz, NPS, & Michaela Althouse/PhillyVoice. Zineification by Amanda Wyatt Visconti.

Coming eventually:

  • Better resolution? I had to cut it down to get it uploaded, but think I can reduce size a bit less and have slightly clearer images while still keeping it manageably sized, which would be nice.
  • Missing exhibit panel photos & text? As discussed on page 4, I see at least one panel in a news article not in the photo album; that photo is too small to get the text from, but can likely find elsewhere, jsut worked on this all night and need to sleep :)
