After receiving public backlash, the National Cryptologic Museum in Annapolis Junction, Maryland, recognized their mistake in covering exhibits that celebrated women and people of color in cryptology. This action seemed to be a response to a federal executive order concerning diversity and inclusion. The covered exhibits, part of the "Trailblazers in US Cryptologic History," were met with criticism from former NSA employees, highlighting the importance of representing diverse contributions to the field. The museum later apologized, emphasizing its dedication to accurate historical representation and inviting the public to revisit the displays.
We are dedicated to presenting the public with historically accurate exhibits and we have corrected a mistake that covered an exhibit. We look forward to visitors exploring the museum and its rich history.
Fellow NSA-National Security Agency veterans. Look at what's happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump's anti-diversity executive order.
