The AHA’s statement defending the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) was featured in a Washington Post article by Janay Kingsberry and Anne Branigin on the 1,200+ grants canceled as part of “the Trump administration’s efforts to overhaul the federal government and reshape American culture.” “This frontal attack on the nation’s public culture is unpatriotic, anti-American and unjustified,” the statement said, adding that Trump’s approach “prioritizes narrow political ideology over historical research, historical accuracy, and the actual historical experiences of Americans.”
