“Recent events only reinforce the need for an open, inclusive and safe space for Americans to exercise their First Amendment rights and to gather in pursuit of our shared ideals”
“The Park Service manages the site, and we’ll always be clear on that — but if we are a partner in help bringing private funding to make sure that they’re able to update that exhibit, that’s where we want to be thoughtful vis a vis what has happened, or, sort of, come to an inflection point in the last week,” the official told the Washington Examiner.
“That is where we’ll be their partner in bringing together thought leaders and scholars to make sure that that content is really appropriate and thorough for what should be at that particular site.”
I eagerly await the MLK Jr memorial to update his position on homosexuality.
Will the “update” point out that slavery was outlawed in the US over 150 years ago?
Also, will the “update” note that it was Western culture which led the way in the abolition of slavery?
Why don’t they acknowledge it in the African American Museum built right next to Washington Monument? Seems like a great safe space and people with white guilt can go and confess their sins...
This is just asking for more trouble. Like wearing a sign on your back that says “Kick Me”
This is a NPS decision and Trump will allow it? I hope it is because he just does not know about it.
The problem was no education.
We've changed that also but so many blacks AND WHITES have not and refuse to take advantage of it.
Will a similar plaque be installed at the Martin Luther King Memorial, one that would list all of MLK’s personal shortcomings?
Side note: I really don’t care about MLK’s shortcomings, or Jefferson’s for that matter. Both were great men who were at the right place at the right time.
But the goal here is evidently to drive as many wedges between Americans as possible. Deliberate Balkanization. So why not install insulting plaques everywhere?
Of course, this will just make it a target.
Is the NPS that stupid or do they WANT it to be targeted?
.....and his womanizing.................
Let's not leave out adultery.
Let's not leave out his opposition to the Vietnam War.
How ‘bout Clinton’s shortcomings?
Lesson: No side got the issue of slavery right.
His plagiarism
While we're at it, let's add this!

> How bout Clintons shortcomings? <
Oh, yes. But you wouldn’t need just one informational plaque to cover them all. You’d need dozens. Even liberal Wikipedia has noted that the Clinton Presidential Library glosses over (or ignores) Clinton’s many scandals.

Exactly. And I hope the “update” include detailed information about how African tribal rivalries over power and territory resulted in Africans putting fellow Africans into slavery.
Funny how one doesn’t hear antifa wanting to fight a war against the descendants of the Africans who were actively pushing to put their fellow Africans into chains.
