川普冠名甘迺迪中心惹議！20年傳統聖誕音樂會憤而取消
為抗議甘迺迪中心更名加入唐納・川普之名，音樂家查克・雷德毅然取消了長達20年的聖誕爵士音樂會。此事件凸顯了美國文化機構與政治之間日益加劇的緊張關係。
一場長達20年的聖誕傳統，戛然而止。位於華盛頓特區的標誌性文化殿堂甘迺迪表演藝術中心（Kennedy Center），因將總統唐納・川普（Donald Trump）之名加入其官方名稱，引發軒然大波。為表抗議，一年一度的聖誕爵士音樂會在演出前夕被主辦人毅然取消。
20年傳統告終：一場無聲的抗議
取消演出的決定來自音樂家兼活動主辦人查克・雷德（Chuck Redd）。根據美聯社報導，他表示：「當我在甘迺迪中心的網站上看到名稱變更，幾小時後又在建築物上看到時，我選擇取消我們的音樂會。」這場自2006年以來每年舉辦的「平安夜爵士即興演奏會」，就此畫下句點。
雷德向CNN強調：「我的職業生涯從一開始就在甘迺迪中心表演，看到這樣的更名讓我感到悲傷。」
「川普甘迺迪中心」引發的法律與輿論風暴
據美聯社上週報導，中心外牆已在「約翰・F・甘迺迪」的名字上方，加上了「唐納・J・川普」之名，此舉激起千層浪。來自俄亥俄州的民主黨眾議員喬伊斯・貝蒂（Joyce Beatty）已對董事會提起訴訟，主張法律禁止將該中心變成紀念1963年遇刺的甘迺迪總統以外任何人的紀念館。甘迺迪的姪女凱莉・甘迺迪（Kerry Kennedy）更誓言，將在川普卸任後努力移除其姓名。
政治入侵藝術：爭議並非首次
這並非甘迺迪中心今年首次捲入政治風波。早在2025年初，川普任命自己為董事會主席後，包括演員兼製作人伊莎・蕾（Issa Rae）在內的多位藝人便公開反對或直接取消了原定的演出計畫。這一連串事件，正讓藝術殿堂淪為政治角力的第一線。
