At the time, the main event at the Museum of History and Technology (now the National Museum of American History) was an exhibit that focused on the fanfare of presidential campaigns and conventions. But Anacostia, which had opened two years prior, was a new kind of museum.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/commercialrelocationpros.com\/?p=284\">Atlantic Trivia: Infrastructure<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was well known that the poor neighborhoods of D.C.\u2014the Black neighborhoods of D.C.\u2014had some of the worst rat problems in the country. \u201cThe Rat\u201d was a direct response to an ongoing crisis, which made it an unusual choice for a museum. Much of the exhibit was inspired by community voices, including by children who\u2019d told museum staff about rat bites and about vermin so large, they were mistaken for stray cats. Wall text warned against the diseases rats carried, explained different ways to kill them, and advised residents to dispose of trash in tightly covered bins. Going beyond the typically neutral language found in Smithsonian museums, the exhibit charged the Department of Public Health as complicit in creating the scourge.<\/p>\n<p>Anacostia, since renamed the Anacostia Community Museum, was the first federally funded museum focused on Black history, as well as the first federally funded community museum; it is still the only Smithsonian to archive and document daily life in the nation\u2019s capital. \u201cThe Rat\u201d set the tone for how the smallest Smithsonian would exist in the shadow of its bigger siblings. Its exhibits and projects have emphasized the history of the community itself. For longtime Anacostia residents, the building has also become a sanctuary. The museum is home to a community garden and a library, and hosts yoga classes and youth programming. During the early years of the coronavirus pandemic, the museum kept a fridge stocked with meals, maintained by a local nonprofit.<\/p>\n<p>But the museum has also struggled to stay alive, and to keep its independent identity. The ACM has always had to fight for funding, space, and the attention of decision makers in the city and federal governments. This vulnerability reached its peak in 2025, when community members had to rally to save their museum from President Trump\u2019s budget cuts. But the future of the smallest Smithsonian is still uncertain, and there is a real risk that Trump\u2019s ongoing campaign against Black history might claim this unique institution.<\/p>\n<p>In the mid-1960s, Sidney Dillon Ripley, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, imagined an addition to its holdings\u2014a neighborhood outpost that might coax more Black D.C. residents to explore the Smithsonian museums downtown. Ripley did not designate a specific location, and multiple communities lobbied to host the new entity. In the end, concerted organizing efforts and enthusiasm in Anacostia\u2014a historic, majority-Black enclave across the Anacostia River from the rest of D.C.\u2014won out. But by the time the Anacostia Neighborhood Museum opened, in 1967, the place had become more than just a promotional outpost. It had repurposed the abandoned Carver Theater, once the only venue where Black residents east of the river could watch new movies. Staff and residents had brought their own ideas, shaping a space that would preserve the everyday miracles of Black life.<\/p>\n<p>The following year would be a defining time for the museum. In 1968, Anacostia was one of the hubs of the uprisings that transformed the city after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Black communities were staking their claim to power\u2014in the streets, in legislation, in the Black Power movement, and in the proud assertion that Black is beautiful. D.C., as both the nation\u2019s capital and a majority-Black city that had recently been administered by segregationists in Congress, was a symbolic center of this transformation. In 1973, just a few years after a member of Congress had sent D.C.\u2019s first appointed Black mayor a truckload of watermelons instead of a budget, the city celebrated home rule and the entry of a cadre of Black activists into its politics.<\/p>\n<p>The Anacostia Neighborhood Museum responded to the moment by offering what was then a radical premise: that Black power flows from a collective past that needs to be preserved and exhibited. It safeguards stories such as that of Vivian Williams, an activist who in 1967 led a boycott of Safeway after discovering price hikes timed to benefit-check days.<\/p>\n<p>For six decades, Anacostia has been the only Smithsonian where residents are at once visitors, subjects of study, curators, and producers. \u201cThe community became the museum,\u201d a former interim director, James Early, told me. It was the first Smithsonian dedicated to Black history, and the museum always wore the distinction proudly. In 1987, it relocated to a newly built structure and was renamed, simply, the Anacostia Museum. The new building\u2019s brick facade was intended to mimic the pattern of kente cloth.<\/p>\n<p>In 1972, Louise Daniel Hutchinson, the museum\u2019s director of research, established an ambitious oral-history project with Anacostia residents, which became the greater Smithsonian\u2019s first such collection. Researchers fanned out into the community, conducting interviews while also collecting donated items of cultural significance. Along with recordings, researchers returned with family Bibles, good china, and valuable mementos, including a porcelain pin box given to a Black seamstress by First Lady Edith Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>Oral history, now a common part of the Smithsonian\u2019s arsenal, has since become something of a specialty at the Anacostia Community Museum, which was given its current name in 2006. The form requires expertise in interviewing, as well as subjects\u2019 trust. \u201cEvery exhibit is this major archival and primary-research undertaking,\u201d Dominique Hazzard, a former staff member at the museum and a second-generation Anacostia resident, told me. She was a curator of the 2021\u201322 exhibit \u201cFood for the People: Eating and Activism in Greater Washington,\u201d for which Hazzard and others gathered more than 100 oral histories from community members and activists.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the museum\u2019s work, its artifacts have been treated with the care and seriousness that they deserve, and are now an official part of the country\u2019s record and story. They sit in the nation\u2019s archives with its founding documents, with dinosaur bones, with the space shuttle.<\/p>\n<p>Still, foot traffic has always been low, and it\u2019s been difficult to get the tourists who travel to the larger Smithsonians to come across the river. Until gentrification swept into the area, the neighborhood remained largely isolated from the rest of the city\u2014although that force promised more amenities and connections, it also displaced Black residents. The ACM, which protects the memories of that community, is also itself facing the possibility of elimination.<\/p>\n<p>In January, I made the trip to Anacostia. I drove up Morris Road toward Fort Stanton, a Union Army Civil War outpost built on a hill above the river. Across from the decommissioned fort sits the building where the Anacostia Community Museum has resided for four decades.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/commercialrelocationpros.com\/?p=282\">Donald Trump\u2019s Superficiality Is Bone Deep<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I walked into the reading room, put on a pair of earphones, opened my laptop, and began to watch the museum\u2019s archival videos. The grainy footage flickered to life: It\u2019s 1974. John Kinard, Anacostia\u2019s founding director and the first Black director of any Smithsonian, fills the frame, a steady presence against rows of shelves stacked high with boxes of files. His voice, smooth and melodic, rises over the room: \u201cThe museum is you,\u201d he tells the members of the Anacostia Historical Society. Kinard declares that if the people gathered before him remain dedicated to the idea that history is power, then the museum will stand as a \u201cshining example of the continued strength and vitality of the people of Anacostia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the very moment of my visit, a debate about the future of Kinard\u2019s project was raging across the river. All through the previous year, the Smithsonian Institution had been one of Trump\u2019s most prominent targets in his war on \u201cwoke.\u201d Much of the White House\u2019s attention had gone to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the much larger and more well-known museum across town. In March 2025, the NMAAHC was mentioned in an executive order accusing the Smithsonian Institution of promoting \u201cdivisive, race-centered ideology,\u201d and ordering a purge of \u201cideological indoctrination.\u201d Later, the White House demanded a review of countless current and planned exhibits.<\/p>\n<p>Any hopes that tiny Anacostia might simply go unnoticed in this onslaught against Black history were dashed during the budgeting process for 2026. In its proposal, the White House called for the Smithsonian\u2019s total budget to be slashed by 12 percent. Part of that decrease would come through zeroing out the Anacostia Community Museum\u2014which represents just under 0.3 percent of the Smithsonian\u2019s federal budget\u2014and abandoning a plan to build the National Museum of the American Latino, which currently exists as a pop-up series of exhibits at the National Museum of American History.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps owing to the obscurity of the ACM, its potential fate received less attention than the broadsides delivered against the NMAAHC. But it had defenders, in Congress and elsewhere. When the budget was first proposed, Eleanor Holmes Norton, D.C.\u2019s nonvoting delegate to Congress, stated in an email to <em>The Washington Post<\/em> that the museum was a \u201cvaluable community resource,\u201d and told the paper she would work to keep the museum intact.<\/p>\n<p>In an attempt to salvage what it could, in its own budget justification to Congress that May, the Smithsonian proposed folding the museum into the NMAAHC, transferring its staff, archives, collections, and real estate. Smithsonian officials argued that the move \u201cwould streamline the workforce\u201d and produce operational efficiencies, while saving as much as possible of the museum\u2019s exhibits and expertise.<\/p>\n<p>But among the ACM\u2019s supporters and former staff, this plan was met with resentment. Anacostia was not a satellite or subsidiary of the NMAAHC, and its importance to the community was much deeper than its collections. Under federal law, private donations could not be used to compensate federal employees, so the community was at risk of losing its cornerstone for what was\u2014in the nonprofit world\u2014a relatively achievable sum: $3 million, the museum\u2019s annual budget.<\/p>\n<p>In August, a month after the appropriations package that could kill the ACM was officially introduced in Congress, Anacostia residents hosted a rally, hoping to raise awareness. Organized by Save Our Museum, a local committee hastily put together during the budget process, the rally kicked off at the ACM and wound its way to the riverfront. Along the mile route, demonstrators sang along to go-go music and chanted. Afterward, the crowd gathered to share what the museum meant to them\u2014reminiscing about Kwanzaa programs, Juneteenth celebrations, and bringing their children to the institution in its early days.<\/p>\n<p>But even after a 43-day federal shutdown\u2014the longest in history\u2014there was no clear path forward. After the shutdown ended on November 12, 2025, a continuing resolution kept all Smithsonian funding alive temporarily, extending it through January 30 at prior-year levels. As I sifted through the archives during that last month of funding, I was keenly aware that I might not have many visits left.<\/p>\n<p>But then, the next week, unexpected news arrived. On January 23, just days before the funding cutoff, Norton\u2019s office posted on Facebook that a new appropriations package for the Smithsonian included funding for the Anacostia Community Museum. The package would continue the museum\u2019s existence for another year and would in fact be about $183,000 more than its previous fiscal-year budget. With Norton\u2019s office at the fore, the museum\u2019s defenders in Congress had managed to slip support for the museum into the bill that funded the Smithsonian. Still, that funding lasts only through the 2026 fiscal year, at which point the scramble might begin again.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, neither America nor the Smithsonian ever quite knew what to do with the gem they have in Anacostia. Though often pigeonholed as a \u201cBlack\u201d museum or a community center, the ACM essentially fills the role of the museum of the capital city, with exhibits featuring Chinatown and the diverse neighborhood coalition of Adams Morgan. The museum preserves works like those of Hien Vu, who helped launch the D.C. Safe Nail Salon Project in 2011 after recognizing that developmental delays among the children she tutored at the Vietnamese American Service Center were linked to toxins in their mothers\u2019 workplaces.<\/p>\n<p>As is true of any good museum, the history presented at the Anacostia Community Museum is thorny and sometimes uncomfortable. But this is essential to the messy and unfinished business of building a nation. There is a particularly potent juxtaposition in the story of Anacostia residents\u2019 struggle to receive full citizenship in the shadow of the nation\u2019s capital, one that requires us to interrogate the halls of power. \u201cIf you close ACM, there is no longer a museum of the history of the city,\u201d Hazzard, the former curator, said. But, under a government intent on forced forgetting, perhaps that is the ultimate point.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/commercialrelocationpros.com\/?p=280\">Another Chance for Trump to Cash Out<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Anacostia Community Museum was a pioneer in preserving Black history.
