WASHINGTON INFORMER — In one of his first major moves targeting Washington’s civic infrastructure, Trump’s administration terminated the 50-year lease of the National Links Trust (NLT), the nonprofit that has operated Langston, Rock Creek Park Golf Course, and East Potomac Golf Links since 2020. The Interior Department accused the nonprofit of defaulting on its obligations. By Stacy Brown, Washington Informer

Under President Donald Trump, policies and places rooted in African American history, autonomy, or self-determination have been stripped for parts or brought under his personal control. Now, that campaign has landed on sacred ground in Washington: Langston Golf Course.

In one of his first major moves targeting Washington’s civic infrastructure, Trump’s administration terminated the 50-year lease of the National Links Trust (NLT), the nonprofit that has operated Langston, Rock Creek Park Golf Course, and East Potomac Golf Links since 2020. The Interior Department accused the nonprofit of defaulting on its obligations.
