The board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington has voted to proceed with a plan to temporarily close the main building for renovations and to inscribe former President Donald Trump's name on the facade. This decision comes despite a federal order requiring the removal of his name from the signage. The board, which consists mainly of individuals appointed by Trump, plans to keep the Reach, a newer addition to the campus, open for limited programming and to serve as a memorial to John F. Kennedy. The New York Times was the first to report on the board's decision.
