There must be enormous pressure to white wash history, after the hard work by the NPS in recent years to tell the complex stories of our heroes, like John Muir, along with details of what *really* happened at the Park locations.
I went to the Seattle one. I can’t find a count for it. A security guard said he estimated 30,000. He seemed reliable as to estimates in that he has been there for years. I agree that the silence by most media sucks.
I believe that truth ultimately will prevail, thanks to passion & diligence of historians like you, Kevin Levin, & history teachers (like me) on front lines. Many of us are deeply committed to history’s complexity. But how long, how much energy/money it will take to undo this mess, is overwhelming.
Isn’t it time to contact your representatives (again?!) and bring the articles for impeachment of Donald Trump forward? He is a traitor to the American citizens and needs to be jailed.
I'm so sorry about what's happening to all of us, but I'm sorry that your vital information is being throttled on other platforms. Thank you for all of your amazing knowledge and Letters from an American.
I worked for the NPS YEARS ago. Unless they have totally different personnel from then, they will bend, but they will not break. (Unless, the entire Service gets fired by weasels and muskrats).

It is way overdue.
Please help get him out of office.
Visiting a U.S. national park is less safe and less organized since Trump took office.
Visitor centers and museums are limiting hours or are shuttering outright. So, no effing bathrooms!!!!
