The director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, Anthea M. Hartig, has refuted a White House report that criticized the museum's leadership and exhibits as "woke." Hartig testified before a House Oversight subcommittee, asserting that the report inaccurately characterizes the museum's work and that its approach to history involves adding diverse voices rather than erasing narratives. The White House report, released on July Fourth, claimed the museum fails to present an inspiring or unifying narrative of American history, a sentiment echoed by some Republican representatives. AI
