U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered an investigation into the content of several prominent museums, accusing them of promoting a "woke" perspective, particularly regarding the history of slavery. The review targets institutions including the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, the National Portrait Gallery, and the National Museum of the American Latino. Trump criticized the Smithsonian for focusing predominantly on the negative aspects of slavery. This move coincides with the America 250 commemoration and has raised concerns about potential censorship and the politicization of historical narratives. Critics, including Representative Hakeem Jeffries, have condemned Trump's actions as attempts to erase painful parts of American history, emphasizing the importance of preserving these narratives for public understanding.
