"The Trump-appointed board of the Kennedy Center voted to rename it the Trump Kennedy Center. With his White House renovations already underway, President Donald Trump is now leaving his mark on the Kennedy Center. The day after the Kennedy Center's board of trustees voted to change the name, new signage appeared on the building's facade on Friday, reading "The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.""
"Originally established by Congress in 1958 as an "artistic mecca" for the performing arts in the nation's capital, the National Cultural Center was officially renamed in memory of President John F. Kennedy after his assassination in 1963. Since its opening in 1971, the center has hosted the Kennedy Center Honors, as well as a range of events and exhibits across genres."
The Kennedy Center's board of trustees, appointed by President Trump, voted to rename the venue to include Donald J. Trump's name and installed new signage on the building and website. The center originated as the National Cultural Center after congressional authorization in 1958 and was renamed in memory of President John F. Kennedy following his 1963 assassination. The center opened in 1971 and hosts the Kennedy Center Honors along with diverse performances and exhibits. Changing the center's name requires congressional approval, but the board proceeded with visible changes. President Trump has indicated plans to overhaul the performance venue during a second term.
