Think from KERA

How the Smithsonian frames American history


Listen Later

The Smithsonian holds thousands of objects in their collection. The conversation about what to display can get contentious. Lily Meyer is a staff writer at The Atlantic and she joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the battles behind the scenes to tell the story of the United States, when Congress has a say in what the public sees and reads, and what the Trump administration’s latest rhetoric means for the future of the museum. Her article is “The Real Fight for the Smithsonian.”
