The Trump administration has initiated the return of exhibits from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture to their original owners, including the original 1960 Woolworth’s lunch counter, according to Black Press USA.

The exhibit features sections of the original lunch counter where the sit-in protests began in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Feb. 1, 1960, with four students from North Carolina A&T State University: Ezell Blair Jr., Franklin McCain, David Richmond, and Joseph McNeil. The HBCU students were attacked after sitting at the whites-only section and being denied service. North Carolina Democratic Congresswoman and A&T alum Alma Adams said Trump can take the exhibits down, but the people will never forget. “This president is a master of distraction and is destroying what it took 250 years to build. Here’s another distraction in his quest for attention. Another failure of his first 100 days,” she said.

“We are long past the time when you can erase history—anyone’s history. You can take down exhibits, close buildings, shut down websites, ban books, and attempt to alter history, but we are long past that point. We will never forget!”

Trump attacked the museum, often referred to as the “Blacksonian,” after signing an executive order targeting the nation’s parks and museums.

“Museums in our nation’s capital should be places where individuals go to learn, not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history,” he said, according to USA Today.

His viewpoints are supported by attorney Lindsey Halligan, who is allegedly consulting with Vice President JD Vance to “remove improper ideology” from Smithsonian properties and said the museum needs “changing.”

The lunch counter is just one of several artifacts being returned. Long-standing civil rights leader and pastor of San Francisco’s Third Baptist Church Dr. Amos Brown revealed a letter confirming the return of a Bible and George W. Williams’s History of the Negro Race in America, 1618-1880, one of the first books written on racism. The items have been displayed since the museum’s opening in September 2016. Amos said the items have sentimental value as the Bible once belonged to his father. “The Bible—that’s my father’s Bible and the Bible I used in the Civil Rights Movement,” Amos said.

“When we went on demonstrations, we always had the Bible.”

Exhibit removals and the target have sparked a firestorm of criticism among advocates fighting to preserve the museum as it was initially founded. Black churches across state lines have rallied against Trump’s accusations of “divisive, race-centered ideology.” Rev. Robert Turner of Empowerment Temple African Methodist Episcopal Church in Baltimore did the math and began asking members of his congregation for an extra offering to support museum preservation efforts.

“For only $25 a year, you can protect Black history,” Moss told his congregation.

Trump claims that the Civil Rights Act Of 1964 has DEI in it.


What does Trump’s order actually do?
- Revokes key civil rights regulations from the 1960s and 1970s that authorized disparate-impact enforcement under Title VI (which bars discrimination in federally funded programs) and Title VII (which covers employment discrimination).
- Directs federal agencies to deprioritize enforcing civil rights laws that rely on disparate-impact claims, including in housing, lending, and employment.
- Orders a review of all pending civil rights cases based on disparate impact, signaling an intent to drop or weaken such cases.
- Encourages challenges to state-level civil rights laws that use disparate-impact standards.

President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday that seeks to dismantle a key legal tool for combating systemic discrimination: disparate-impact liability.

The order, titled Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy, frames itself as a defense of "colorblind" principles, arguing that policies considering race or gender in any way— even unintentionally— undermine meritocracy. But legal experts and activists warn that the directive could gut enforcement of landmark civil rights laws, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, by making it nearly impossible to challenge discriminatory practices that disproportionately harm marginalized groups

He has no idea the fury he would bring upon his dwelling. If he did such a thing. We are fed up with these inhuman beasts thinking they have the right to shoot Black children for any little reason.

From the article:

The Trump administration is asking Congress to eliminate funding for Head Start, a move that would cut early education for more than half a million of the nation’s neediest children and child care for their families.

Trump executive order on Smithsonian targets funding to programs with ‘improper ideology’

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump revealed his intentions to reshape the Smithsonian Institution with an executive order Thursday that targets funding to programs with “divisive narratives” and “improper ideology.”

Trump said there has been a “concerted and widespread” effort over the past decade to rewrite American history by replacing “objective facts” with a “distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth.”

He signed an executive order putting Vice President JD Vance in charge of an effort to “remove improper ideology” from the Smithsonian Institution, including its museums, education and research centers and the National Zoo.

Trump’s order specifically names the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the Women’s History Museum, which is in development.

“Museums in our Nation’s capital should be places where individuals go to learn — not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history,” the order said.
