Harvard Historian Responds to Trump’s Order Targeting the Smithsonian

Season 2025 Episode 7198 | 17m 51s

Trump is targeting the Smithsonian, the world's largest museum complex, with an executive order designed to eradicate what he calls "a divisive, race-centered ideology" at the institution. Civil rights groups are saying Trump is "whitewashing" America's past. Award-winning author and Harvard professor Tiya Miles joins the show to reflect on what this might mean for the future of the United States.
