The Trump administration is facing backlash after ending free admission at national parks on the only two federal holidays honoring Black history — Juneteenth and Martin Luther King Jr. Day — while adding free entry on President Trump's birthday, June 14. The Interior Department also announced higher entry fees for non-U.S. residents under what it calls "America-first entry fee policies."
Denigrating Black history "can't erase the truth," says Carolyn Finney, who served on the National Parks Advisory Board during the Obama administration. "It's not going to change how we feel, not just as Black Americans, but Americans in general, about honoring our history."
We also speak with Audrey Peterman, author of Our True Nature: Finding a Zest for Life in the National Park System, who says "the entire history of America, the entire history of every racial and ethnic group in America, is in the national park system."

President Trump has announced plans to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who is serving a 45-year sentence for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into the United States. In 2024, Hernández was convicted in New York of drug trafficking and weapons charges. "The evidence from the Southern District of New York was overwhelming," says Dana Frank, professor of history emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a longtime observer of Honduran politics.
Trump's announcement came on Friday, and he also threatened to cut off funding if Hondurans did not elect his chosen conservative candidate as they went to the polls Sunday to pick a new president. "He's almost threatening Honduras that if we don't do what he is demanding … he will wreak vengeance against Honduras," says Rodolfo Pastor, former secretary of the presidency under Xiomara Castro in Honduras.
