Kennedy Center Drops Trump Name From Website After May 29 Ruling

Summary
The Kennedy Center on Monday reverted its website header to “The Kennedy Center,” removing “Trump Kennedy Center” branding after its lawyers told staff last week to take down the president’s name.
Judge Christopher Cooper ruled May 29 that the Trump-appointed board lacked authority to rename the center on signage, saying only Congress could approve adding a president’s name.
The website had carried “The Trump Kennedy Center” since December, when the board voted to change the performing arts center’s name.
The move marks the center’s compliance with a court order that limits how far the board can go in rebranding the federally chartered institution.
