An exhibit? Who cares about a exhibit.

I am a cynical enough person to think USC just planned the exhibit so PC mutten heads can protest it and get USC some needed free press.

Let them try and erase The Searchers (1954) from Hollywood lore. THAT will get my full attention.

Good luck with that Pilgrim!

Then it took long enough, since the exhibit was there since 2012.

By the time they get around to erasing The Searchers, they will have gotten everything they wanted and the opposition will be next to nothing. This is why they should be stopped now.

On a long enough timeline, the chance of escaping villainy becomes zero.

Wayne was more right than wrong Should we have left America to the Indians?
Obama was OK as President but I don't think Jesse Jackson would have been.

Mine was more of a commentary on the fact that, as we go along, everyone will eventually be portrayed as a horrible person for simply existing in and being of their own time.

Do they still mention OJ Simpson there? I went back in the late 1990s and his Heisman jersey and Heisman Trophy were still on display.
