An Open Letter

To: Sen. Booker, Rep. Smith, Sen. Kim

From: A verified voter in Middletown, NJ

September 9

Donald Trump is trying to turn America’s museums into MAGA propaganda. And now he may have his biggest opening yet: Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III announced his retirement just yesterday. Trump has spent months pressuring the Smithsonian over exhibits that tell uncomfortable truths about slavery, racism, immigration, and American history. His administration has demanded reviews of museum content, attacked Smithsonian leadership, and threatened federal funding. He wants the power to decide which parts of our history Americans are allowed to see—and which parts get erased. But Trump does not choose the Smithsonian’s next secretary. The Smithsonian Board of Regents does. And with Bunch leaving at the end of the year, the Board is about to begin a national search for his successor.
