Oklahoma treated history differently from the beginning — not as nostalgia, not as branding, but as a check on power.
Why that still matters today.

Illustration by Nikkolas Smith showing a young Black girl viewed from behind, standing in front of the exterior wall of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The engraved name of the building is partially visible on the pale stone surface. The girl raises her right arm, holding a thick black rectangular bar that she presses across part of the text, visually redacting it. She wears purple-accented clothing and bracelets, with her hair styled in braids tied with purple bands. Sunlight reflects off the stone wall behind her, creating a bright contrast with the dark redaction mark. The image conveys themes of intention, accountability, renewal, and the power to decide what should no longer remain visible.

Sunday’s heist at the Louvre has stirred a lot of headlines. I argue @hyperallergic.com that the real vulnerability lies not in museum security, but in the colonial foundations of Western museum collections. #ArtTheft #Decolonization #Repatriation #PublicMemory

Just published in The Polis: why Trump’s take on the Smithsonian misses the point. Patriotism is telling the full record—achievements and injustices—with rigor and receipts. Read: medium.com/the-polis/tr... #Smithsonian #HistoryMatters #PublicMemory #Museums
Trump’s Smithsonian purge isn’t “patriotism” - it’s fascist playbook 101. When regimes rewrite museums, they erase truth to control democracy’s memory.
