History dosent exist to glorify, its there to tell a story. Im not sure I'm entirely comfortable with the premise either, especially since the ink is still fresh from this recent chapter and many of the urban poor have merely been reshuffled...we haven't solved these problems. But there are plenty of museums that exist to highlight unpopular or uncomfortable periods in our past.
