The Politics of Historical Remembrance in the Smithsonian Institution Museums
Community Research Project, Developed by students, Anabelle West, Christy Holliday, Emma Pacchioli, and Vanessa Onyeka Ben, in Dr. Mark Auslander’s class “Race and Racism" (ANTH-210-002), American University. Fall 2025
Dear future AU students,
The year is 2025 and we are American University students in an anthropology class here! The focus of our class is race and racism, and we are creating a website to document exhibits that are under attack by President Donald Trump. This current administration is showing us that history can be erased. Do we ever escape this fascist regime? Currently, we feel like there is no way out, and that our website is just a temporary solution. Hopefully by 2125, circumstances have improved.
Best,
AU Students from 2025
