Summary
June 12 has become a draw at the Kennedy Center, where tourists and locals stopped Friday to photograph the building before Donald Trump’s name is removed.
Visitors split sharply over the change: some supporters posed for selfies to preserve the display, while opponents said they hoped to witness the sign come down in person.
Atlanta-area visitors Bill and Cheri Collins said they plan to return daily until they leave Washington next Wednesday, treating the removal as a historic moment.
D.C. resident Donna Merz said she has avoided the venue since Trump’s name was added and plans to resume using her season tickets once the change is official.
