“The National Archives museum, under Biden-appointed U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan, has been working to reshape its narrative of American history in order to make white conservatives more comfortable … The museum has removed references to Martin Luther King Jr., Japanese internment, Native Americans, union organizers, and birth control … A photo of King was replaced with one of Richard Nixon meeting Elvis Presley.”

Utterly shameful behaviour at the US National Archives as anything remotely confronting to white Americans seems to be being purged from the public national record. Whitewashing history is a shockingly regressive step.To clarify this, we're talking public display and education. As far as I know, they're not removing items from the archives themselves, although if Trump wins that level of cultural vandalism wouldn't surprise me.
