Usermontu, in an excellent state of preservation, lies in a glass case in the San Jose museum with his tongue sticking out as though he were speaking.

The museum, erected in to replace the original structure, is built in the style of an Egyptian temple and features at its entrance a reproduction of the Thebes Avenue of Ram Sphinxes. Raymond Shubinski, 37, director of Flandrau, said he borrowed one of the mummies from the Los Angeles museum as an exhibit to go along with a planetarium show on the ancient Egyptian concept of astronomy.

The problem with these caricatures is that North Koreans, outside Kim Jong Un and other top political and military leaders, are often rendered invisible both by their own government as well as by the international community, including the United States.

And the more North Korea is essentialized as Kim Jong Un, the less likely the outside world will view the country beyond Kim. In recent years, humanitarian groups working with North Koreans on the ground have had modest success in shining light on the plight of vulnerable North Koreans, such as patients of highly infectious diseases such as multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. As Dr. Markey D-MA and Congressman Andy Levin D-MI , that would help expedite the delivery of lifesaving aid to North Koreans, have stalled in both the House and the Senate, and are unlikely to become law absent more support from relevant committee chairs.

Last Wednesday, Foreign Policy reported on a State Department cable making surface-level observations that Squid Game was a commentary on tensions in South Korean society and economic conditions.

Perhaps if the State Department and Treasury Department looked a little deeper they might take another message. South Korean popular media — which, thanks to K-pop, K-dramas, films like Parasite and Snowpiercer , and other streaming megahits like Crash Landing On You — is producing humanizing and relatable portrayals of North Koreans.

When iconoclasts topple Jefferson, they seem to validate the argument advanced by defenders of Confederate monuments that there is no escape from the slippery slope.

Where does it end? Is Jefferson next? Is George Washington? No historical figure is without blemish, they protest.

And it's unfair to condemn our ancestors using today's standards. If owning slaves is the discrediting fact about Lee, how then can we excuse George Washington? As if on cue, "TFG" chimed in with a statement chiding the city for "evicting" the "late, great Thomas Jefferson, one of our most important founding fathers. No, Jefferson was in Paris during the Constitutional Convention. He authored another founding document Trump hasn't read. But never mind. There is an answer — a reason why it's right to remove Robert E.

Lee from his pedestal in Richmond, Virginia, yet wrong to exile Thomas Jefferson from a place of honor in American life. It requires grappling with the full complexity of human beings and the mixed legacy of history.

We must, as William Shakespeare said, "Take them for all in all," that is, judge them for their entire lives, not just a part. People who defend monuments to Lee on the grounds that he played an important role in our history are confusing significance with honor. Lee surely played a huge role in our history, but as the leader of an army whose aim was to destroy the union.

That made him a textbook traitor. As Ulysses Grant put it in his memoir, recalling his feelings upon accepting Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House, Lee had fought "valiantly" but for a cause that was "one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse.

Is it fair to judge Lee by our modern standards? Perhaps not, but even by the standards of his own day, he is wanting. Much has been made of Lee's supposedly agonizing decision to resign his U. Eventually, the collection grew large enough to warrant a museum.
