Historians Reject Trump Administration’s Criticism of Smithsonian Museum

The American Historical Association, which represents thousands of U.S. historians, issued a statement rejecting a White House report that criticized the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. The report, released by the Trump administration, alleged the museum's exhibits and educational materials did not align with the administration's views on how American history should be presented. The American Historical Association's statement did not specify which exhibits or materials it was defending. The Smithsonian did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
