Trump sued by historic preservation groups to block Kennedy Center changes - AP News

Historic preservation groups have sued to block changes the Trump administration is planning at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The lawsuit centers on alterations that preservation advocates argue would damage the iconic performing arts venue's architectural and historical integrity. The Kennedy Center, a congressionally chartered institution that opened in 1971, is protected under federal law and subject to review of major modifications. The plaintiffs are seeking to halt the project through the courts, arguing the changes violate preservation standards. The case will likely test the administration's authority to make structural modifications to one of the nation's most prominent cultural landmarks.
