"If you take away pictures of women, if you take away pictures of Black heroes, of Asians, of Native Americans, of Latinos, then who's left?" asked Don Moynihan, professor at the Ford School. Moynihan spoke with All Things Considered on a recent podcast episode that investigated the erasure of POC and LGBTQ+ community members from websites that highlight American history. Moynihan suggests the government is sending a message that only white men belong.
