From the Washington Free Beacon: The National Museum of African American History and Culture, a Smithsonian Institution center in Washington, D.C., features exhibits that glorify violent radical groups like the Nation of Islam (NOI) and offer historical falsehoods on issues like slavery, a Washington Free Beacon review found.
The NOI features prominently in the museum, with exhibits offering effusive praise to the group with little mention of the organization’s history of violence, anti-White radicalism, and anti-Semitism.
“For over 40 years, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad (1897–1975) led the Nation of Islam, which served as a spiritual sanctuary and self-help organization for millions of African Americans,” a tribute in one exhibit reads. “Its religious, educational, and economic institutions promoted Black unity, pride, and moral discipline and helped its members overcome poverty and other social ills.”
The museum displays the uniform of a member of the “Fruit of Islam,” the NOI’s paramilitary wing, in a section devoted to the Civil Rights Movement.

On August 19, Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, “The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of “WOKE.” The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.”
“We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made. This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the “HOTTEST” Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums,” Trump added.
