Times do change as you say, and keeping things in perspective and accurate to the times is important.
Few examples…..the swastika was a sign of good luck and fortune even used by US military in world WW1. It was hijacked by Hitler in the 30’s and now does not symbolize any good things at all.
Many of the changes made by the group hereby being accused, are to avoid political controversies or involvement. In order to preserve our history accurately AND in context with the times
There were actually court cases as recently as 2020 concerning photos that were blurred out to stay out of politics as they showed references that were distinctly politics.
YEP……looking at history requires context at every step. Without it, you are not reading history to understand things but for some other motive.
A serious researcher, that you mention, would appreciate really understanding our history
