Museums play a crucial role in our society. The processes of our democracy enable succeeding generations to judge actions taken by those who exercised sovereign power before they arrived. Museums are essential to this process and we must preserve the artifacts of our past. Those artifacts, together with facts proven at the time of the decisions, permit judgments of history to be fair and unbiased. We are here today because the Smithsonian decided to present an interpretation of the history of the Enola Gay´s historic flight.
