The nonpartisan organisation altered images of the 2017 Women's March to obscure anti-trump slogans and references to female anatomy.
The National Archives on Saturday admitted it had made a mistake when it blurred images of anti-Trump signs used in an exhibit on women's suffrage.
But the archives said in a statement on Saturday "we made a mistake". The archives' statement came one day afterDemonstrators filled Independence Avenue in Washington for the 2017 Women's March.The archives said the photo in question is not one of its archival records, but rather was licensed for use as a promotional graphic in the exhibit.
Signs with the word "vagina" and other mentions of female anatomy, which also were widespread during the march shortly after Trump took office, also were altered. The march was held during the first full day of Donald Trump's presidency, Saturday January 21, 2017.References to female anatomy in the signs were obscured in deference to student groups and young people who visit the archives, Kleiman told the newspaper.
