@tadstoermer: The @wallstreetjournal just exposed @archivesgov for scrubbing exhibits of hard truths—Indigenous displacement, Japanese-American incarceration, and more—all to keep things “welcoming” and avoid upsetting Republican politicians...and facing a possible Trump second term. History isn’t about comfort—it’s about accountability. If we don’t demand truth, we get the myths instead. #publichistory #publichistorypractice #nationalarchives #archives #historytok #museumtok #democracy @motherjonesmag @thebulwarkmedia

Sooo yes. But aren’t you putting old wine in new wineskins? Thinking of Mbembe, “the very existence of the archive constitutes a constant threat to the state.”

So...Either anecdotally or through research, black people are fully knowledgeable of the real history. We have to be. And we are not going away. We will continue to speak our truth. This "philosophic

Do you have a list of books that tell honest history about our country that you would recommend? Something we can get in hard copies and preserve if they start going full Fahrenheit 451

Since the head archivist is an appointed position, is there a way for us as citizens to call for them to be replaced? I'm unsure about the logistics, but there has to be something, right?

Then who keeps the record. I’ve been interested in the changing of history subtly bc we keep digital records and they can be changed. Unless you have physical records/recordings/books history

In my cataloguing class for my library degree we learned how people used to steal cards from the card catalogues when they didn’t like what a book was about so others couldn’t find it. I was shocked.

You’re right but how can I reconcile that with an electorate that’s evolved and chooses Marvel movies over movies like all the presidents men or The Usual Suspects. Is the point truth or entertainment

I have a couple of questions. 1. Do they receive congressionally-approved funding? 2. What happens to the removed exhibits? Storage? Auction? Dumpster? 3. Is it possible...

@Tad Stoermer Thank you for this. I need to educate my sons about this. I will be looking into this further. Are there duplicates of these archives that can move to another central location? 😥

I didn't really learn about Japanese internment until my PhD (so like 30y/o). I knew it happened, but I hadn't been confronted with the images. I have been thinking about it a lot recently.
