Black history will not be erased

Add your name to defend Black history Donald Trump is trying to erase Black history. He will not succeed. Trump’s recent executive order targeting Smithsonian museums for “improper ideology” is a hostile attack on our shared history. And it’s more than that — it’s an attack on the truth. I…
