President Donald Trump's most recent executive order targets multiple museums, including the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), which former President Barack Obama opened during his second term.
The order, Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History, is part of the administration's effort to eliminate what it describes as "improper ideology" across all branches of the Smithsonian Institution. The move has sparked significant backlash online, including from volunteers at the museum.
