President Trump signed an executive order entitled 'Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,' instructing federal agencies, including the Smithsonian, to remove content deemed 'divisive' or 'anti-American.' The order emphasizes the return of certain historical monuments and criticizes existing museum exhibits for promoting what it calls race-centered ideologies. Vice President JD Vance is tasked with ensuring compliance within the Smithsonian Institution and overseeing any restorations. This move aligns with broader efforts to reevaluate cultural narratives within American institutions, particularly following incidents prompting nationwide protests for racial justice.
