NY Times: How Trump Treats Black History Differently Than Other Parts of America\u2019s Past<\/a><\/h2>\nOn the occasion of Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery, President Trump took a moment to complain that the national holiday even exists.<\/p>\n
\u201cToo many non-working holidays in America,\u201d Mr. Trump wrote on social media, just hours after his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, made a point of noting that White House staff had shown up to work.<\/p>\n
The president\u2019s decision to snub Juneteenth<\/a> \u2014 a day that has been cherished by generations of Black Americans before it was named a federal holiday in 2021 \u2014 is part of a pattern of words and actions by Mr. Trump that minimize, ignore or even erase some of the experiences and history of Black people in the United States. Since taking office in January, he has tried to reframe the country\u2019s past involving racism and discrimination by de-emphasizing that history or at times denying that it happened.<\/p>\nGovernment websites have been scrubbed of hundreds of words<\/a>, including \u201cinjustice\u201d and \u201coppression.\u201d Federal agencies eliminated or obscured the contributions of Black heroes<\/a>, from the Tuskegee Airmen who fought in the military<\/a>, to Harriet Tubman<\/a>, who guided enslaved people along the Underground Railroad. School libraries were purged<\/a> of writings by pre-eminent Black authors like Maya Angelou. Mr. Trump has assailed the Smithsonian Institution<\/a> for what he characterized as \u201cdivisive, race-centered ideology\u201d in its exhibits on race. He ordered the renaming of monuments<\/a> to honor Confederate soldiers who fought to preserve slavery.
