The National Archives has apologized for blurring images of anti-Trump signs used in an exhibit on women's suffrage. It said the photos were altered to avoid 'current political controversy.'
January 18, 2020 GMT
The independent agency is charged with preserving government and historical records and said it has always been committed to preserving its holdings “without alteration.” The exhibit about the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, blurred some anti-Trump messages on protest signs in a photo of the 2017 Women’s March in Washington.
Archives spokeswoman Miriam Kleiman told the Post for its report that the nonpartisan, nonpolitical federal agency blurred the anti-Trump references “so as not to engage in current political controversy.”
