## Resource

President Trump has ordered new signs at the Smithsonian’s U.S. History Museum to challenge exhibits he deems inaccurate, part of a broader push to reshape how American history is told. The move follows a White House report criticizing the museum for failing to inspire and unify — a claim fiercely rebutted by museum director Anthea M. Hartig, who called the report misleading. Despite the Smithsonian’s independence and its oversight by Secretary Lonnie Bunch, Trump’s directive echoes past efforts to control cultural narratives, including attempts to alter panels at George Washington’s home — raising alarms that history may be sanitized in favor of a more triumphant version.
