The director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History pushed back on Tuesday against a recent White House report that branded the institution's leadership as radical activists who cannot be trusted.
“As we continue to fact check the report, we unwaveringly attest that it does not fairly or accurately characterize the full body of work at the museum,” director Anthea M. Hartig told a House Oversight subcommittee. “There is always room for improvement. But I also know the beauty and the inspiration and the expertise that lies in our collections, our exhibits, and our programming.”
