The initial goals of the Smithsonian revealed a commitment to research, knowledge, and education. Every aspect of its formation was driven by the desire to promote learning across various disciplines, making it accessible to all people. The vast collections and significant contributions to scientific research and cultural preservation that emerged reflected this mission. However, the journey of the Smithsonian has not been without challenges; there have been attempts to diminish its legacy through various whitewashing efforts. Such actions have often attempted to erase or overlook the significant contributions of African Americans and other minorities, narrowing the narrative of American history and culture. The institution has been a platform of advocacy, showcasing diverse contributions and fostering an inclusive narrative, but it continues to face scrutiny regarding representation.
