Who Gets To Tell America's Story? MS NOW Critiques Trump's Signage at the Smithsonian

On July 26, 2026, MS NOW's The Weekend featured a heated discussion regarding President Trump's directive to install signs outside the National Museum of American History. These signs are intended to caution visitors about the museum's portrayal of American history.

The panelists expressed strong opinions about the implications of this move, arguing that it reflects a broader struggle over who gets to define America's narrative. Concerns were raised about the potential for political influence to shape historical interpretation.

As the conversation unfolded, participants highlighted the importance of diverse voices in storytelling and the risks of allowing a single perspective to dominate the discourse on national history.
