President Donald Trump criticized museums as "woke," accusing the Smithsonian of focusing on how horrible the country is and the brutality of slavery, and directed attorneys to review museums similarly to colleges and universities, declaring "WOKE IS BROKE" and calling for emphasis on success and the future. The National Museum of African American History and Culture presents the unvarnished truth of slavery, the brutal reality millions endured, and the lasting impact today, while also highlighting resilience, achievement, and celebration through exhibits including sports achievements of Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, and Olympic uniforms from Gabby Douglas and Carl Lewis.
He went on to write: Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future. We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made. This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE.
And yes, it goes into the unvarnished truth of slavery in America, the brutal reality that millions endured and the impact that still felt today. But the museum, if you actually go to it rather than just talk about it and see it on paper from a Truth Social post, it doesn't only focus on suffering. It is about resilience and achievement and celebration, umbrella, history.
