Smithsonian revising History

[Montrovant]

If taking down statues is 'erasing history', isn't this the same?

If taking down statues doesn't 'erase history' and that history is still easily available, isn't that true in this case as well?

Exactly, coming from the party of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow, segregation, and "separate but equal".

Wow, that was unusually lame........even for you.

The Smithsonian said on Saturday that it would restore information about President Donald Trump’s two impeachments to an exhibit in the National Museum of American History within weeks.

The Washington Post reported on Thursday that in July, the museum removed a placard describing Trump’s impeachments and reverted the exhibit to how it looked in 2008. That display — a glass case dominated by a file cabinet damaged in the Watergate break-in — says that “only three presidents have seriously faced removal”: Andrew Johnson, Richard M. Nixon and Bill Clinton.

The placard mentioning Trump was removed from the exhibition, “The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden,” after what the Smithsonian called a “review” of “legacy content.” A person familiar with the exhibit plans, who was not authorized to discuss them publicly, previously told The Post the placard was removed as part of a content review the Smithsonian undertook following pressure from the White House to remove an art museum director.
