"is not distinct from American history."
"sought to needlessly divide our citizens on the basis of race, painting a toxic and distorted and disfigured vision of our history, heritage, and heroes."
"Happy Black History Month! Happy Black History Year! And happy Black History Century!"
"A short-term outcome could be a distrust, even an avoidance, of government sites."
President Trump issued a 2026 Black History Month proclamation asserting that Black history is integral to American history while criticizing progressive movements for dividing citizens by race. Trump and the White House have pursued executive orders curtailing the federal government’s use of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and federal agencies have removed historical information presented through a racial lens. Some removals and changes have been reversed, modified, or blocked in court. Historians warn these actions could cause distrust or avoidance of government-run museums and historical sites. The White House highlighted a list of administration policies and initiatives it says benefited Black Americans.
