A fierce debate is unfolding in Washington over how the National Museum of American History portrays U.S. history, especially ahead of its 250th anniversary. Critics in Congress accuse the museum of promoting “woke ideology” through exhibits like “Latina Power” and question whether certain displays are suitable for children. Director Dr. Anthea Hartig defended the museum’s mission during a congressional hearing, arguing that showcasing America’s evolving story—including its flaws—is essential, not politically driven. Supporters rally behind the institution, citing iconic artifacts like Jefferson’s desk, while critics warn against a “statist history” that risks distorting the past. With another hearing looming, the conversation about who controls America’s historical narrative—and how we remember our nation’s complexities—is far from settled.
