Donald Trump's government has called for a far-reaching review of Smithsonian museum exhibitions in order to ensure they align with Donald Trump's interpretation of the United States' history.

"The idea that the Smithsonian, which was created as an independent entity, should reflect any administration's vision of history, and not the vision of the historians and the researchers and the other people who devote their lives to studying these things, is more than problematic."

Says Annette Gordon-Reed, Professor of history at Harvard University, President of the Organization of American Historians and an award-winning author.
