The Smithsonian said Saturday that it would update an exhibit at the National Museum of American History to reflect all impeachment proceedings in U.S. history after a placard was removed last month.
“As the keeper of memory for the nation, it is our privilege and responsibility to tell accurate and complete histories,” the Smithsonian said in a statement.
The statement came after The Washington Post reported last week that the museum had removed references to President Trump’s two impeachments earlier in the month as part of a content review.
In the statement, the Smithsonian acknowledged the recent reporting around the matter, saying a placard was removed in July from the exhibit, “The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden,” which the museum said is intended to “reflect all impeachment proceedings in our nation’s history.”
