Kennedy Center Jazz Concert Canceled After Trump's Name Added to Building

  • A long-standing Christmas Eve jazz concert at the Kennedy Center was canceled by host Chuck Redd.
  • Redd canceled the show after Donald Trump's name was added to the building's facade, a move he saw on the website and then the building itself.
  • The facade now reads "The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts."
  • Scholars state the name change, approved by Trump's handpicked board, violates the 1964 law establishing the center as a memorial to JFK.
  • This incident follows Trump's increased involvement with the center, including leadership changes and other artists canceling performances.

Why It Matters: Trump's name on Kennedy Center leads to concert cancellation and legal challenges.
