SUMMARY: Greensboro , N.C. Civil rights museum has rejected Donald Trumps request to visit. They declined his visit because of the campaigns list of demands. "We did not honor the request of the Donald Trump team because we thought they demonstrated, in their approach was disrespectful, so therefore we did not grant that request," said the co-founder of the museum. Jones said the campaign was rude and aggressive to staff. The campaign also asked for the museum to be closed for 5 hours. Jones said he didn't like the approach and that the museum doesn't do special treatment. He states that their manner was innapropriate and reflective of the civil rights movement. Jones said he would deny Hillary Clinton also. The museum isn't going to be used for political gain.
ANALYSIS: This article was written by Jessie Hellmann. Jessie studies journalism and political science. This brings awareness to the civil rights museum and what a candidate is trying to do.I agree with the museums actions. This museum is to learn about civil rights and to educate people. It isn't a place for future candidates to get photo opportunity. I am not shocked that Trumps campaign came off as aggressive either. I'm glad the museum doesn't allow special treatment and uses the museum for what it should be. This can connect to the Civil Rights movement and what political leaders had to do to solve issues.

I really find this interesting how a building can just refuse people from entering. I don't blame them for this decision
ReplyDeleteWow, who would've thought that a museum would do something like this, honestly I feel like this could lead into so many different associations into realizing the actual value of what they are for.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the museum's actions also. A museum is to educate with the truth and facts, not to twist the facts of the past to feed a certain ideal or political candidate's popularity. The facts of the past should be unbiased, and honest.
