Remember -- victors write the history. My question now is, how will the Library of Congress be changed? (I know it's the Library of Congress but Congress has been acting as an extension of the Executive branch lately).

You’re right, except Shogan was actively helping the victors to revise and whitewash history. Her replacement will be no better, but she did what she could to curry favor with Trump.

They're two separate institutions; nothing has changed about LC afaik.

I saw her post on LI and wondered why the responses of support were minimal and frankly, underwhelming. I forgot about the ERA incident.

That's one of the few sources of detailed information about events in the past that are commonly overlooked by US education and media. UK National Archives at Kew have free files declassified after a number of decades which can be downloaded world-wide.
