Funding for Smithsonian's Anacostia, Latino museums cut in proposed Trump budget
The Trump administration is proposing to eliminate separate funding for the Smithsonian's long-planned National Museum of the American Latino on the National Mall, as well as the Anacostia Community Museum, a venerated D.C. staple that celebrates Black culture and history.
A broad spectrum of opponents, including members of the Republican-led Congressional Hispanic Conference, expressed alarm over the proposed cuts, which coincide with a White House effort to exert greater control over the management and programming at some of the country's most prestigious cultural institutions.
