Trump Orders Signs Outside Smithsonian Museum Citing Historical Inaccuracies
President Donald Trump ordered signs outside the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, citing inaccuracies in exhibits related to Native American history, slavery, civil rights, Black history, and climate change. The signs will reference a White House report and direct visitors to what Trump called accurate historical information. Smithsonian officials, including museum director Anthea M Hartig, rejected the report's characterization. The move follows broader efforts to influence cultural institutions, with some related actions, such as the removal of a slavery memorial in Philadelphia, facing legal challenges.
