The Woodrow Wilson library's layout is somewhat dated, although I recognize that some of the limitations are from keeping it in historical buildings.

Exhibits on Wilson's dismal record on civil liberties are lacking, one placard on segregating the federal government and one placard on the first red scare, no mention of mass imprisonment for those who opposed WW1.

helps us understand our heritage, sadly, the museum is kind of weak at it.

Just learned that Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia were duplicated in part in Lewisburg, VA, now WV. May be helpful for those researching VA legal history and wondering where the VA Ct. of App. records for the years 1779-1865 could be found today. A 1865 fire at Richmond State Court House destroyed all court records from 1779-1865. Article by A.L. Emch for the Virginia Lawyer Magazine, December 2022. virginialawyer.vsb.org/publica

This is an excellent (and truly sad) story by @ProRepublica. Multiple people and institutions are to blame. We MUST do better.
