In March, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order demanding that the negative parts of American history be excised from public monuments. A May follow-up order from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum led to QR codes being displayed in national parks that asked visitors to snitch if they came across information that was negative about past or living Americans. Now volunteer preservationists from Safeguarding Research & Culture and the Data Rescue Project have launched a campaign, Save Our Signs, asking people to upload photos of signage on public lands in order to preserve them if they're removed. @404 Media explains more about the campaign. β€œTo maintain a democratic society, it is essential for the electorate to be well-informed, which includes having a thorough awareness of our historical challenges,” Lynda Kellam, a founding member of the Data Rescue Project, says. β€œThis project combines our expertise as data librarians and preservationists and our concern for telling the full story of our country.” #USHistory #TrumpAdministration #Histodons @npub1uc0p...cpgf #History #NationalParks #NationalMonuments
