CBS Mornings” host Tony Dokoupil agreed with President Trump’s stance to eliminate the sins of America’s past being portrayed in Smithsonian museums.
Through its 21 museums, 21 libraries, 14 education and research centers and a zoo, the Smithsonian Institution’s collections are expansive and cover every aspect of U.S. history, including more than 200 years of slavery.
Historians and researchers are expressing “grave concern” about President Trump’s push to purge museums of information he dislikes.
