i think e reality is that the smithsonian is not partisan.eel that i have very strong relationships on the hill and in the white house, and that my notion is that everybody who caes about america should c about smithsonian. >> woodruff: you've talked openly about your commitment to diversity. is the smithsonian today as diverse as you want it to be in every respect? >> no. the smithsonian has done a much better job, and we're very goode er on issues on gender. i won't be the secretary just in search of diversity and inclusion. but it's real clear to me that c 't be the institution that matters to americans if we don't reflect that diversity. >> woodruff: i ask in part because some people say, well, "well, wait a minute, are we going to see a latino american museum, a museum of an women in history, a museum of the l.g.b.t. community?" how do you think about all tnot? because wethere are pressures to come up with something to serve eacmmone of these ities in america. >> my whole career has beeg about expande canon, making sure that the history,

but the smithsonian is greatly indebted to mr. kreuk and mr. schols for their generosity in donating this piece of history. candidly, one of the goals of the smithsonian is simple. to help america to remember. to remember moments such as d-day that forever shaped our nation. it is my -- it is my honor of behalf of the sithson -- smithsonian on behalf of the museum to accept this flag into the collections of the museum of american history. the items in the smithsonian speak volumes about the power of remembering. these artifacts teach us lessons about history and about ourselves. whether it is the gavel that susan anthony used to chair women's suffrage conventions or the greensboro lunch county that students used to demand simple justice. or the apollo 11 command module that proved that nothing was beyond the creativity and reach of america. this flag helps all who will encounter it to remember a time when the future of freedom was in doubt. we think so much of the lieutenant who knew the stakes when the led the vessel that led the charge to uta

what are we dealing with, how many people and, again, fantastic work with the smithsonian who more or less did this for free and with that i will move on to what we have learned about these burials. first of all, we have two nearly complete soldiers. one of them was missing his entire skull and, initially, we were thinking it could be battle related injury, but it became clear that that skull had been carried away by a plow at some points because some of his teeth were found and the skull was gone. we had two nearly complete sets we had 11 amputated limbs. 10 legs and one arm. what have we been able to learn about these individuals burial 1 which is the soldier on the left-hand side with the severe leg injury, we know he was between 25 and 29 years old. the scientist can tell that the way the bones are formed. we know he was likely from upstate new york or new england. how do we figure that out? is amazing stuff. i'm not going to pretend, i am an archaeologist, not a chemist so i can't explain exactly. they do this isotope analysis. this is technology that wasn't around up until 10 or

so the smithsonian had quite a challenge. neil's suit, it was exposed for a long time, because everyone wanted to see it. it suffered a lot of damage. they took it off display about 13 years ago. and put it in cold storage to figure out how to better treat it and keep it going. a couple years ago, they said it will cost a lot of money to fix this, we will see if we can kickstart it. they did a campaign, raised a lot of money, and were able to renovate the suit. they just unveiled it earlier this week. and you can see it. interestingly, at the air it is and space museum it is not in , the flight gallery, because that is in a bright spot. sunlight would be bad for the suit. they tried to put a better place to put it. to me, it is dramatic that they put it right opposite the first plane that ever flew. the right flyer. flyer. you can see how far we went in those 60 odd years. host: we go to roger in pittsburgh. caller: hello. good morning. thank you for taking my call. i appreciate c-span a lot. i really do. i am 68-year-old. i'
