US Archivist Accused of Sanitizing American History Exhibits
National Archives Museum leader Colleen Shogan allegedly removed mentions of negative events that might anger Republicans or upset visitors, reports the Wall Street Journal.

A Biden-appointed archivist overseeing the National Archives Museum in Washington, DC, reportedly cut mentions of negative events in United States history from planned displays over the past year, including references to the government’s mass displacement of Native American communities and the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans.

According to an October 29 report by the Wall Street Journal, interviews with nearly a dozen former and current museum staffers and internal documents revealed that Archivist of the United States Colleen Shogan and her top aides directed employees to remove certain objects and details over the past year in order to avoid angering Republican legislators and making visitors feel “confronted.”
