, The Washington Post; It wasn’t just the National Archives. The Library of Congress also balked at a Women’s March photo.
"The Library of Congress abandoned plans last year to showcase a
mural-size photograph of demonstrators at the 2017 Women’s March in
Washington because of concerns it would be perceived as critical of
President Trump, according to emails obtained by The Washington Post...
Slayton
said the decision to remove the photograph was made by leadership of
the library’s Center for Exhibits and Interpretation. “No outside
entities reviewed this exhibition’s content before it opened or opined
on its content,” the spokeswoman wrote.
Librarian
of Congress Carla Hayden was informed of the decision soon after and
supported it, Slayton said. Hayden, who is in the fourth year of her
10-year term, was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2016 and
confirmed by the Senate."
