realiz ai meah amendment -- i'm soledad o'brien, welcome to soledad: matter of fact from the national archives in wasto founded in 1934 and today hold billions of records that tell the stories of america's history. the archives launches a new exhibit called rightfully hers comemorating the 100th anniversry of the 19th amendment. ratified by 36 states in 1920, the 19th amendment prohibited states from denying the vote on the basis of sex. it was a victory for women's rights, but not for all women. for some perspective, i sat down with three historians, ann gordon, the preeminent scholar on the women's suffrage movement and the editor of the elizabeth cady stanton and susan b. anthony papers at rutgers university. marcia chatelain, an associate professor of history and african-american studies at georgetown university, and maggie blackhawk, a law professor at the university of pennsylvania and a member of the ojibwe tribe. talk to me about the long, very long fight for women who were trying to get the right to vote, and who were some of them the boldface names if you will who were leading this c

a spokesperson for the national archives told "the washington post" that what they did was nonpartisan is a nonpolitical one, and that the reason why they blurred the references to the president on the posters is to avoid the eyes of some young people who might see the image when they come as a visitor because this was an exhibit that is to celebrate women and that they were trying to avoid offending anyone. do you see that's a good explanation? >> no. i have two issues with that. the first is that it is inherently political to doctor a photograph. you can't get away from that. the moment they chose to inaccurately censor, make something invisible that was there, you're entering the political debate and stoking the fire. that was just an embarrassing mistake on their part. the second issue is the idea that the words are inappropriate, the fact that women's bodily parts -- >> the spokesperson says inappropriate for certain audiences. as a reminder, this is an exhibit called rightfully hers, american women and the vote. and this photo is kind of emblaze ened, it is one of the first thing

it was a low moment in national archives history. the fact that they are taking on an exhibition about women's suffrage and 1920 was when women got the right to vote and doing a blown up photo of a more recent march against donald trump in many ways. the fact they erased trump's name. a sign that said god hates trump on the new photo simply says got hates. that's a drastic change of meaning. the good news here and it is good news. the national archives responded to the washington post investigation and said that they are going to put back the proper photograph. it isn't the role of the archives to be photoshopping and sensors the photography of america's history. >> good to have both you have here. thank you. >> thank you. >>> an acquittal is expected, it doesn't necessarily mean there won't be any rebellions in the senate. the eight senators to watch for surprises next. you're live in the cnn news room. this is my skin. and this is cc+ cream. it gives you your skin but better. it's your full coverage foundation, spf 50 plus anti agi

million people from coast to coast for the women's march, you see it doctored, it is at the national archivesr reaction to archives doctoring an image, depiction of history? >> i can't, i am not an archivist, i can't speak to the importance of making sure documents have historical accuracy. i can respect whatever opinion that they give in regard to that. when i look at the image, period, i'm disturbed by the image itself. >> what do you mean? >> god and hate can't go in the same sentence. god is love. so god would never hate anyone who even is a hater, people call them racist, evil, because god is love. god's desire is that everyone would come to a certain place. >> so in that picture, one of the posters that was held up said the reality of that moment is someone has an image that says god hates trump. >> right. >> and the image you see on the right of the screen, the censored portion, the name trump was taken out. there were other references, another poster that said gop, it is a trump and gop hands off women, and the name trump was blurred out. so the dispute is over whether it was appropri

according to a report in the "washington post," the national archives blurred signs that are criticalident trump, and maybe deemed inappropriate, that is a view of the archives where the name trump is disported there and the national archives tweeting just moments ago, we have removed the current display, and will replace it as soon as possible with the one that uses the unaltered image. we apologize and will immediately start a thorough review of our exhibit policies and procedures so that this does not happen again. >>> today, thousands are gathering across the country for the fourth annual women's march. the event first began in 2017. right after president trump's inauguration. this was the scene in denver. a short time ago. cnn's kyung lah, from los angeles. what is the latest? >> well, this is the end of the march, where the speakers are gathering, to talk about specifically what to do moving forward. and this year, in 2020, if you take a look at some of the size of this crowd, what they're looking forward to is november 2020. voting. and you were just talking about the national

because a nationwide women's protest came as the national archives was forced to apologize for blurring protest signs in a photograph from the 2017 women's march. they blurted out signs that were critical of trump as well as references to female reproductive anatomy. the photo is part of an exhibit for the centennial of women's suffrage. aclu deputy legal director louise melling said -- "apologizing is not enough. the national archives must explain to the public why it even took the orwellian step of trying to rewrite history and erasing women's bodies from it, as well as who ordered it." we'll have more with louise melling later in the broadcast. move 9 member delbert orr africa, known as del africa, was released from a pennsylvania prison saturday after 42 years behind bars. del africa was arrested with eight others f following a 1978 police raid on the house of move, a radical, anti-police-brutality and largely african-american organization. the members were convicted in the killing of philadelphia police officer james ramp. one member of the move 9, chuck africa, still remains in pr

the national archives preserves this for a nation and for the people of that nation.w they're an independent agency. but you know they're keeping the record of our nation and if there somehow distorting that record it distorts the history of our country. >> absolutely. you know, i have a book called the nixon tames. i just found out in china my book got printed it in chinese, they censored out all sorts of things, not even telling me. here we have an america doing something that china does, oh, this doesn't look flattering this photograph to president trump. let's change the photo and present it to the american people. the archives this is our tax dollars, it's the united states government trying to hide and alter history. there are a lot of, there may be people angry at those signs, there were people at that march that were angry. we don't air brush word documents from mid-way or cover up you know pictures from the bombing of oklahoma city. history can be ugly and messy. if they're going to use that photo, use it and use it properly without that kind of ridiculous do
