United Front: Black Churches Rally in Support of Smithsonian African American Museum Post-Trump's Directive

(AP) – Rev. Robert Turner, from Baltimore, embarked on his monthly 43-mile trek to Washington last week, arriving at the White House with a poignant message: “Reparations Now.” Along the way, he visited the National Museum of African American History and Culture, honoring its mission despite recent criticisms from former President Trump. Turner emphasized solidarity through church membership at the museum and rallied support from fellow ministers. Critics of Trump's executive order decry the threat to authentic historical narratives. The ongoing discourse highlights the urgency of preserving Black history.
