A Selective Timeline of Censorship in the U.S.A.
1995
|
The
U.S. Senate narrowly rejects a Constitutional
Flag Protection Amendment.
|
| Under
extensive pressure from the Air Force Association
and Congress, The Smithsonian Institution cancels
a controversial program planned by The National
Air and Space Museum. The program, The Last Act: The Atomic Bomb and the End of World War II, questions whether the dropping of the atomic
bomb on Hiroshima was necessary, and features photos
and artifacts belonging to the victims. Instead
of the planned exhibition, the restored forward
fuselage of the Enola Gay, the B-29 that dropped
the bomb, is put on display from 1995-1998. |
