National Archives forced to apologize for blurring anti-Trump rally signs
The US National Archives has announced it will remove its display featuring a photo from the 2017 Women’s March that blurred out multiple signs critical of Donald Trump and replace it with the unaltered image.
The independent US agency tasked with preserving historical and political records acknowledged it made a “mistake” in a statement announcing the switch after reports of the edited display were met with swift backlash. “As the National Archives of the United States, we are and have always been completely committed to preserving our archival holdings, without alteration,” the National Archives wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. “We have removed the current display and will replace it as soon as possible with one that uses the unaltered image.”
The statement continued: “We apologise, and will immediately start a thorough review of our exhibit policies and procedures so that this does not happen again.”As the National Archives of the United States, we are and have always been completely committed to preserving our archival holdings, without alteration. pic.twitter.com/VTWOS4R7GY
