Shout-out to Joyce Beatty
Never staying silent when it mattered the most. Taking it to the courts to fight and honor John F Kennedy and the Center.
Let's give it up to one badass of lady Joyce Beatty for not backing down.
JUST IN: This Is A Pretty Stunning Detail From The Kennedy Center Fight.
Rep. Joyce Beatty says she was the only board member who tried to stop Trump's name from being placed on the Kennedy Center.
According to Beatty, the proposal wasn't even on the agenda.
She says she joined remotely, attempted to object, and was muted before she could make her case.
Beatty challenged the move in court, arguing the Kennedy Center's governing law did not allow the institution to be renamed after Trump.
This week, a federal judge agreed and ordered Trump's name removed.
Tonight, workers are physically taking it down.
That's the story.
Not just that Trump's name is coming off the building.
That the board member who says she was silenced ended up winning in court.
