Anthea Hartig, appointed as the head of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in 2018, became the first woman to permanently lead the institution. Her appointment was celebrated as a significant milestone in the museum’s history.
Recently, Hartig faced criticism due to a White House report accusing the museum of engaging in ‘extreme political activism.’ This situation has brought additional attention to her leadership and the museum’s activities.
