WASHINGTON, D.C. (WINA) – Reps. Bob Good (R-VA) and Eli Crane (R-AZ) have asked the head of the National Trust for Historic Preservation whether federal funds were used to create exhibits on slavery at Montpelier, home of the “Father of the Constitution.”

“We urge you to focus on the true life and history of James Madison, rather than succumbing to dishonest, ‘woke,’ and radical anti-American prejudices. We look forward to your prompt response,” the two wrote to Jay Clemens, the trust’s interim president, in a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner.

 Good notes that the National Trust for Historic Preservation was established to preserve and protect the nation’s history and perpetuate the American story. Instead, he says, the sole exhibit focused on the Constitution now perpetuates the notion that it is a “pro-slavery document.”

“Why was there a lack of exhibits explaining the importance of the Constitution at the place where the Constitution was authored?” he asks. “Why would that be the case? This is a very dishonest portrayal of what James Madison was primarily about and what the history of Montpelier is.”

Good admits that he has not visited Montpelier for quite some time but plans to do so in the near future. As for the content of its exhibits and whether slavery outweighs James Madison, the individual, Good and Crane base their letter on “reports we have seen.”

Montpelier, meanwhile, is leaving comments to the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
