Why did the Smithsonian Institution’s Enola Gay exhibit spark so much controversy in 1995?

Using the readings from Week 6 (especially Section 6 of the AHA’s Standards of Professional Conduct), what can we do as historians to avoid controversy over divergent, even discriminatory interpretations of historical events, particularly in the public realm?
