As part of Penn’s deal to avoid further consequences for its discriminatory behavior against Americans, the @usedgov must require the University to reinstall the monument to one of its founders The Reverend George Whitefield. The statue was disgracefully removed during the 2020 riots. In addition to his relationship with Benjamin Franklin and UPenn, Whitefield was a key figure in the First Great Awakening, using his powerful preaching to spark widespread religious revival across the American colonies. His efforts helped unify Protestant denominations and laid the groundwork for a distinctly American evangelical movement.
