William Penn founded Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. But the Biden administration was going to cancel Penn by removing his statue from a park. See my blog entry explaining that here.
But then, suddenly, the cancellation has, thankfully, been cancelled. See the National Park Service announcement about that here. So Penn’s statue stays in the park.
