In an executive order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” President Trump targeted the Smithsonian, demanding that “improper ideology” be removed from exhibits. Under the order, exhibits that “divide” Americans will be defunded, including portrayals of race and its history at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. We talk to Clint Smith, Atlantic staff writer and author of “How the Word is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America,” about the battle over how American history is told.
Guests:
Clint Smith, poet; author; staff writer, The Atlantic. His books are "Above Ground" and "How the Word is Passed."
Key Jo Lee, chief of curatorial affairs and public program, Museum of the African Diaspora
