The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston unexpectedly closed due to the dismissal of five vital staff members, following directives from the Trump administration aimed at reducing the size of the federal workforce. Initial closures were met with outcry from the Kennedy family and the public, prompting a quick reversal by the National Archives, which announced that the library would reopen the following day. This incident reflects the broader challenges and chaos linked to governmental budget cuts and employment policies during the Trump era.
The sudden dismissal of federal employees at the JFK Library forced the museum to close today. As the foundation that supports the JFK Library, we are devastated by this news.
The National Archives staff looks forward to welcoming guests, visitors and researchers.
