...........Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker addressed the lawsuit during a Friday press conference, where she was asked by a reporter to respond to the exhibit's removal.

"Let me affirm for the residents of the city of Philadelphia that there is a cooperative agreement between the city and the federal government that dates back to 2006. That agreement requires parties to meet and confer if there are to be any changes made to an exhibit," Parker said, adding that her office will keep the public posted as legal action moves forward.

ABC News reached out to Parker's office for further comment.

Through the lawsuit, the city of Philadelphia seeks a court order restoring the slavery memorial, a preliminary injunction to block other potential changes to the President's House and a permanent injunction blocking further changes to the exhibit.
