在国会就史密森尼博物馆被指被“觉醒”意识形态渗透举行一系列爆炸性听证会之后，一段重新曝光的美国国家历史博物馆馆长安西娅·哈蒂格的演讲视频显示，她将“作为一种实践的历史”称为“社会正义的核心工具”。
在7月国会山的一系列听证会上，哈蒂格为史密森尼博物馆的客观性和无党派立场进行了辩护。然而，在2025年2月向加州大学洛杉矶分校学生发表的重新曝光的演讲中，哈蒂格描述了“美国国家历史博物馆以公平为基础、以正义为先、以社区为导向且必然谦逊的公共历史和服务工作方式”。
在演讲的后续部分，哈蒂格断言：“如果你愿意这么说的话，美国漫长且充满暴力的种族历史依然存在于我们的历史反思之中。”
她表示：“以赔偿形式进行的纠正，当然不仅仅是承认过错；它应该承担责任，思考纠正的行动，正如我们追求恢复性正义，而对我们（这场线上研讨会）来说，就是通过历史实现恢复性正义。”

上月在国会山作证时，哈蒂格表示：“我们的工作遵循史密森尼学会的学术、准确、独立和无党派标准。”她说道：“博物馆不会在美国的政治辩论中站队，”相反，“我们保存并记录美国生活方方面面的证据，以便公众能够接触过去并自行得出结论。”
然而，在她向加州大学洛杉矶分校发表的演讲中，她断言：“对我而言，作为一种实践的历史……是社会正义的核心工具。”
哈蒂格以土地确认声明开启了她的演讲，并展示了一张美国国旗被涂污的幻灯片，上面的文字看起来像是“解散警察部队”。她的说明文字称，这张照片拍摄于2020年华盛顿特区的一场“黑人的命也是命”抗议活动。演讲后期哈蒂格展示的另一张照片显示，一名抗议者举着一块写有“爱美国是一件复杂的事”的标语牌。
她评价道，该博物馆于1964年开放时，“是一种冷战时期的产物，你懂的，‘我们将成为世界上最优秀、技术最先进的国家，我们将向所有人展示我们是如何做到的’……我们显然已经摆脱了这种模式。”

相反，哈蒂格强调了她所谓的博物馆“大胆的新愿景”，即成为“全国最具包容性、最易访问、最具相关性且最可持续的公共历史机构”。该愿景称，这将使博物馆能够“服务于反映美国全部种族、阶级、性别、族裔和地理人口结构的受众”。
为此，哈蒂格表示，博物馆“加入了史密森尼学会范围内围绕‘黑人的命也是命’的协作收集工作……以记录、保存和分享与‘黑人的命也是命’相关的物品，展示这场始于2012年的运动的历史”。
她分享了一张2020年夏天白宫外抗议标语的照片，并高度评价“这些非凡的、转瞬即逝的声明、标语……传达了那种发自内心且极其深刻的信息”。
哈蒂格还称赞了一个名为“团结鹤”的反移民海关执法局组织是“真正了不起的团体”，并强调了其与“黑人的命也是命”运动的合作。
根据其网站介绍，“团结鹤”是一个“由日裔美国社会正义倡导者及其盟友发起的非暴力直接行动项目，致力于终结拘留设施，并支持那些遭受种族主义、不人道移民政策迫害的移民和难民社区”。该网站还称：“我们站在二战期间遭受美国集中营暴行和遗留问题的日裔美国人的道德制高点上，我们呼吁‘停止重蹈历史覆辙！’”

除了“黑人的命也是命”倡议外，哈蒂格表示，博物馆正在推行“积极的多语言战略以支持语言正义”。
她解释道：“这个理念当然是，每个人都有权用他们感到最自在的语言进行交流，以便被理解，也去理解他人。”
为此，她表示，自2019年秋季以来，“所有展览、标识和数字项目都将至少提供英语和西班牙语双语版本，根据项目和起源社区的不同，部分项目还会提供更多语言版本”。
哈蒂格断言：“我们因讲述复杂的真相而受到攻击”，并敦促学生“提高声音，共同发声”。
她说道：“在我看来，历史依然是解开人类、意义、地点、征服、爱、权力、权威和自我之谜的关键，这一点坚定不移。”

After an explosive series of congressional hearings on alleged woke ideological capture at the Smithsonian, a resurfaced video of a presentation by National Museum of American History Director Anthea Hartig shows her calling “history as a practice” a “prime tool of social justice.”
In a series of July hearings on Capitol Hill, Hartig defended the Smithsonian’s record of objectivity and nonpartisanship. However, in a resurfaced presentation to University of California, Los Angeles students in February 2025, Hartig described “a number of ways in which your National Museum of American History is taking an equity-based, justice forward, community driven and necessarily humble approach to public history and to service.”
Later in her presentation, Hartig asserted that the “United States’ long and violent racial history continues to be present in our reckoning, if you will.”
She said that “redress in the form of reparation, of course, goes beyond acknowledgement of wrongdoing; it should leverage responsibility, it should think about the act of correction, as we pursue restorative justice and, for us [on the call], restorative justice through history.”

During her testimony on Capitol Hill last month, Hartig stated: “Our work is governed by the Smithsonian standards of scholarship, accuracy, independence and nonpartisanship.” She said, “the museum does not take sides in America’s political debates,” but instead, “We preserve and document the evidence of American life in all of its breadth, so that the public can encounter the past and draw their own conclusions.”
However, in her presentation to UCLA, she asserted that “history as a practice … is for me a prime tool of social justice.”
Hartig began her talk with a land acknowledgement and a slide showing a picture of an American flag defaced with words that appeared to read “Defund the Police.” Her caption said the photo was from a Black Lives Matter protest in Washington, D.C., in 2020. Another photo Hartig showed later in the presentation depicted a protester holding a sign that read, “America loving you is complicated.”
She remarked that the museum opened in 1964 as “this kind of Cold War, you know, ‘We’re going to be the best and most technologically advanced country in the nation, and we’re going to show everyone how we did that’ … We clearly have moved away from that.”

Instead, Hartig highlighted what she called the museum’s “bold new vision” to become the “most accessible, inclusive, relevant, and sustainable public history institution in the country.” This, the vision states, will allow the museum to “serve an audience that reflects the full racial, class, gender, ethnic, and geographic demographics of the United States.”
To this end, Hartig said the museum “joined a very collaborative Smithsonian-wide collecting effort around Black Lives Matter … to document and preserve and share objects focused on Black Lives Matter to show the history of the movement starting in 2012.”
She shared a picture of protest signs outside the White House from the summer of 2020 and spoke highly of “these phenomenal, ephemeral statements, signs … expressing that kind of very heartfelt and incredibly poignant [message].”
Hartig also praised an anti-ICE organization called “Tsuru for Solidarity” as a “truly remarkable group,” highlighting its collaboration with the Black Lives Matter movement.
According to its website, Tsuru for Solidarity is a “nonviolent, direct action project of Japanese American social justice advocates and allies working to end detention sites and support directly impacted immigrant and refugee communities that are being targeted by racist, inhumane immigration policies.” Its website also states, “We stand on the moral authority of Japanese Americans who suffered the atrocities and legacy of U.S. concentration camps during WWII and we say, ‘Stop Repeating History!’”

Besides the Black Lives Matter initiative, Hartig said the museum is pursuing a “proactive multilingual strategy to support language justice.”
She explained that “the idea, of course, [is] that everyone has the right to communicate in the language in which they feel most comfortable to be understood and to understand.”
To this end, she said that since the fall of 2019, “all exhibitions and signage and digital projects will be at least bilingual in English and Spanish and a number of them in more languages depending on the project and communities of origin.”
Hartig asserted, “We’re under attack for speaking complicated truths” and urged students to “raise your voices and speak them together.”
She said, “It continues to grow resolute in my mind, [history] is the key that unlocks the mysteries of humanity, of meaning, of place, of conquest, of love, power, authority and self.”
