Pelosi Orders Confederate Portraits Removed From Capitol

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has requested the removal of portraits of former House speakers who were associated with the Confederacy from the US Capitol. This action coincides with Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery in the US. Pelosi emphasized that these portraits symbolize bigotry and racism, which have no place in the halls of democracy. Additionally, she has called for the removal of 11 Confederate statues from the National Statuary Hall collection.
