Jean-Léon Gérôme - Truth Coming Out of Her Well 1896 (Anne de Beaujeu Museum)

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.”

So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

A broadside assault on truth that must be taken seriously. This administration wants to replace independent scholarship and curation with propaganda and Prager U. drivel.

The Kennedy Center was bad enough. This is worse.

This Trump executive order is a racist, sexist attack on the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the American Women’s History Museum and the true purpose of history: to tell the truth about our past.
It is straight out of Orwell.

The National Museum of African American History and Culture must “remove improper ideology” pursuant to an Executive Order. There is nothing improper about telling the truth about our history and how we can rise above it. In fact, it is essential. #history #museum www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

WARNING: This museum contains the truth about American history President Trump does not want you to see!

Yeah… I don’t think that’ll cause a net reduction in interest for the Smithsonian.
Remarkable that Trump issued this order for free. If I were in charge of PR for the Smithsonian, I would have paid him to do it. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/a...

The administration’s attack on the National Museum of African American History and Culture is an attack on truth itself. Erasing Black history is how oppression survives.

Trump has threatened to gut the world-renowned Smithsonian Institution with an executive order which aims to eliminate the museum network’s 'anti-American ideology.'

Trump wants to overhaul the world’s largest museum, education and research complex to "restore truth and sanity to American history."

📌BREAKING: Trump has ordered warnings be placed at "inaccurate" Smithsonian History Museum.

This is chilling.

Authoritarian regimes, as a rule, rewrite history to control all information.

They also ban books, attack truth, and the vote.

We are living in very, very scary times.

Also this morning the Maryland Lynching Truth & Reconciliation Commission held a hearing at the Reginald Lewis museum in Baltimore. Lovely to reconnect with old friends & colleagues & to meet new friends committed to the work of true repair.

For years, Michaelina Wautier’s paintings were attributed to men. Then a chance discovery in a Vienna museum helped bring the truth to light.

Smithsonian
Museum

A museum should be allowed to tell the truth.

The whole truth.

We can learn nothing by hiding our history.

The Smithsonian was created for the preservation and diffusion of cultural and scientific knowledge.

Don’t hide the Truth.

Support your CDC library. 💔📚

The “Health is a Human Right” exhibit is powerful—and it’s closing June 13 (...earlier than planned?? 🤔)

Health equity matters.

And so do the librarians keeping that truth alive.

She called the WWE about visiting instead of googling to find out it's not an actual museum? It's hard to tell the dumb lies from the insane truth in her stories.
