Opinion - Erasing history, one park at a time

Erasing history, one park at a time, by Ernie Atencio, tells of Interior Secretary Doug Burgum's plan to eliminate "negative" depictions of U.S. history at national parks, monuments and other public lands. Not so easy, writes Atencio, as Americans expect to learn a true story no matter how cruel or unpleasant. How, for instance, do you sanitize the World War II creation of Japanese American internment camps? Atencio warns: “The past might not be pretty, but what occurred is called history, and it’s important that we learn what we hope never to repeat.”
