Washington DC — In response to President Donald Trump’s executive order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” GreenLatinos Public Land Advocate, Pedro Hernandez, issues the following statement:
"This executive order is a dangerous attempt to rewrite history, silencing those who have fought for an objective and inclusive understanding of our nation’s past. It seeks to reverse decades of scholarship, local stakeholder engagement, and preservation efforts, disregarding historical truth in favor of a divisive narrative that serves political extremists.
Our nation’s public lands should conserve all facets of American history. Coupled with recent executive actions to defund historic preservation and slash the workforce responsible for safeguarding our diverse heritage, this order will inevitably lead to the destruction of nationally significant historic sites and resources.
This executive order is an insane attempt to whitewash history by attacking Indigenous, Black, Asian, Latino, and trans communities. GreenLatinos stands firmly against this distortion of history and remains committed to justice, truth, and the protection of our public lands and historic institutions for future generations. We call on all Americans to reject this revisionist agenda."
