A resurfaced 2025 presentation by National Museum of American History Director Anthea Hartig is fueling fresh political debate after recent congressional hearings over alleged ideological bias at the Smithsonian. During her Capitol Hill testimony, Hartig said the Smithsonian follows standards of scholarship, accuracy, independence, and nonpartisanship, insisting the museum does not take sides in America's political debates. However, a resurfaced UCLA presentation shows Hartig describing history as 'a prime tool of social justice' while outlining an equity-based, justice-forward vision for the museum.
