President Donald Trump took the battle to keep his name on the Kennedy Center to a higher court on June 12, filing an emergency motion to halt any attempt to erase him from the iconic Washington, D.C. concert hall.
But it was immediately denied by judges, paving the way for the president’s name to be removed from the building as a crowd of onlookers stood by to watch workers do the job. After midnight on June 13, workers were still erecting a scaffold needed to remove the lettering, with a crowd gathered as the clock hit midnight, calling for Trump’s name to be taken down.
