President Trump is ordering a sweeping review of the Smithsonian museums ahead of the country's 250th anniversary next year. In a letter to the head of the institution, the White House said it wants to ensure the museums show the "unity, progress and enduring values that define the American story."

The review is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to remove criticism of America from cultural institutions

In an interview with Here & Now's Robin Young, Sarah Weicksel, executive director of the American Historical Association, said it's important that the entirety of the American story is told at the Smithsonian.
