The Trump administration announced this week that it would begin reviewing current and former exhibitions at Smithsonian museums to ensure they align with president’s agenda and perspective of history – a task which had already been underway and will likely expand purges of historical artifacts.
For months, the museum has been reviewing, and at times quietly removing, certain artifacts on display to comply with Trump’s March executive order, aiming to “restore truth and sanity to American history” by getting rid of “divisive narratives that distort our shared history.”
