[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Removing and replacing artifacts and exhibits in museums - a practice that has occurred since forever, and returning those artifacts to those who initially donated them in the first place - that’s “dismantling”?

There’s not even a discussion to be had here. You’re incapable of reason. [/quote]

Ignorant and duped MAGA, this is being done by Trump’s order for reasons any intelligent and educated person fully understands. You go ahead and believe this is normal and fine. There is no hope for you cult members. [/quote]

Please list and describe the artifacts that were removed and returned to their donors, and what replaced them.

Educate us. Here’s your opportunity. Don’t blow it. [/quote]

Civil rights activist Rev. Amos Brown says he was recently notified two of the artifacts he loaned to the museum would be returned back to him.

He described one of the books written by Rev. George Washington Williams in 1880 as a "precious and most historic book" and the "first history of the Negro race."

The other book was a Bible he took to demonstrations with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesse Jackson.

Brown said he lent the artifacts to the Smithsonian in 2016. He said the museum always gave him the option of donating the books permanently or renewing the loan, but this time he wasn't asked.

"It is downright dishonest and it is demeaning," Brown said. "I hope people of good will, of conscience and common sense will rise up and say 'we need to stop this'."

We keep trying, you don't want to be educated. [/quote]
