If the suit OJ Simpson was wearing when he was acquitted is offered to the Smithsonian, should they accept it?

I don't see a problem with "infamous" things, as even the darker side of history has relevance (in fact, the Smithsonian is in easy walking distance to the Holocaust Museum), but it was pretty arrogant of OJ to assume that his suit was of such great historical significance that it should be in a museum. It's a frickin' piece of clothing that was worn one day during a long trial. No one would even recognize it without an explanation, and then, who would care?

He's still alive, the day of his acquittal was mostly a big deal to him, not us, and he wasn't doing anything himself in it. He was just standing there when something got said across the room. The suit does not have enough historical importance to be in the museum, and since tending to and storing items costs money, they should reject it.

Aside from maybe the suit Kennedy died in, or the suit Lincoln was wearing during the Gettysburg address, I doubt anyone's suit is Smithsonian-worthy.

Yes they should acceot it but I don't think they should display it for a long time.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
