museums, their city. just walk down the mall, the smithsonian offers a range of competing narratives about the national path. if you start just below the washington monument, go to the new african american history and culture museum and make you went all the way to the american indian museum, you have a series of narratives about america and the ways in which one challenges of the other. this topic in american history museum to go across the street and just slightly different versions of the same story, and how then that visitor gets to put together. i think the challenge for us is because there's multiplicity of narrative, which once become the most salient and who and what ways we elevate some above the fray and can be heard and seen and understood. but that's always been a challenge in american life. it's perhaps more intensely so now because of all of the ways which we receive information and the ways in which we can also ignore information that we don't want to receive. in my view press one of the greatest challenges to the creation of this throughput to all these narratives is a decline of small city

smithsonian offers a range of competing narratives about the national past. if you start just below the washington monument go to the new national history, activist a.m. culture museum, and work your way to the american indian museum you have a series of narratives in which one challenges the other. you stop at the native american museum, you have different versions of that story. the challenge for us is how there's the multiplicity of the narratives, which ones become the most salient, and who, in what ways, and we vastly some above the fray and can be heard and seen and understood. but that's always been a challenge in american life. it's perhaps more intensely so now because of all of the ways in which we receive information. and the ways in which we can also ignore information that we don't want to receive and my view perhaps of the greatest challenges to the creation of this input, through these narratives is the decline of small city newspapers and small town newspapers. they in the different point in american history, were the ones that pulled the narratives and anchored them in a local community in a way that people could see themselves in a national scale.
