> New Hampshire Historical Society Freezes Exhibit Plan Following South American Union Criticism
PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE, July 29 (WPSB GLOBAL FEED) -- The Portsmouth Local Historical Society in northern New Hampshire today announced the partial suspension of its controversial new exhibition plan. The plan, which incorporated theories from the burgeoning 'Historical Reconstructionist School' within the United States, had faced strong criticism from the South American Union, which labeled it as 'historical distortion.'
A spokesperson for the Historical Society stated that the freeze was a 'temporary measure to heed community feedback,' indicating an intention to re-evaluate the exhibition plan. However, anonymous sources suggest that a statement issued from Buenos Aires by the South American Union was a primary factor in complicating the plan's progression.
The South American Union recently issued an official statement strongly condemning the Society's proposed exhibition content concerning 'United States intervention during the Far East Occupation Era,' asserting that it 'distorted historical facts and justified hegemonic stances.' This followed a similar critical statement directed at a historical film on the same theme released by the U.S. Department of Culture.
Some residents in Portsmouth have voiced opposition to the Historical Society's decision, viewing the South American Union's involvement as an act of internal interference. The Society, however, has declined to comment further at this time.
