Smithsonian Institution Says It Won’t Remove Anti-Segregation Exhibits

Smithsonian Institution Says It Won’t Remove Anti-Segregation Exhibits
SHARE

The Smithsonian Institution has recently faced backlash and rumors regarding the removal of object displays documenting anti-segregation demonstrations during the Civil Rights Movement. Reports claimed that the National Museum of American History (NMAH) and the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) were planning to eliminate items related to a segregated F.W. Woolworth Company lunch counter from Greensboro, North Carolina.

After President Trump’s executive order calling for the elimination of “race-centered ideology” in the Smithsonian, Black Press USA reported on the alleged removal of artifacts from the historic sit-ins at the Greensboro lunch counter. However, the Smithsonian has vehemently denied these claims, with NMAAHC spokesperson Melissa Wood stating that the displays of the lunch counter and stools used during the Civil Rights Movement protests are still on view.

Black Press USA also reported that loaned artifacts from civil rights leader Amos Brown would be returned to him by the NMAAHC. Brown expressed concerns that the return of his items, including his father’s Bible and a significant historical book, could be related to Trump’s mandates targeting critical race theory.

The Smithsonian maintains that any objects removed are in adherence to standard loan agreements or museum practices, and are often part of regular turnover and preservation efforts. Despite the preservation of the Greensboro lunch counter display, other aspects of Smithsonian programming that embrace inclusive views of gender are under threat due to the Trump administration’s scrutiny.

Trump’s executive order specifically criticized the NMAAHC for including a graphic on its website that examined assumptions of Whiteness in the United States. The order, believed to be orchestrated by Lindsey Halligan, aimed to address what the administration deemed as improper ideology in the national institution.

In response to the executive order, Black churches have rallied to support the NMAAHC by encouraging parishioners to purchase annual memberships. The controversy surrounding the Smithsonian’s handling of historical artifacts and exhibitions underscores the ongoing debate over the portrayal of race and history in American institutions.
