## Resource

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History unveils a powerful, emotionally raw exhibit marking 25 years since 9/11, displaying never-before-seen personal artifacts like Flight 93 seat belts, a World Trade Center purse, and a phone used during a hijacked plane call—all intentionally shown without glass to honor the human stories behind the tragedy. Amid political pressure over the museum’s historical narrative, director insists this exhibit was shaped by memory, not politics, aiming to reconnect younger generations with that day through intimate objects like a melted chocolate dispenser from the Pentagon and a beeper from the South Tower. As the institution prepares for leadership transition, its mission remains steadfast: preserving America’s complex, contested past—because history, even painful history, belongs to the people.
