Pentagon Restores Black Medal of Honor Recipient’s Page After Outrage
The US Department of Defense webpage honoring Medal of Honor recipient Maj. Gen. Charles Calvin Rogers was temporarily removed and its URL altered to include “DEI,” prompting public outcry. The page’s removal occurred during an automated process, according to the department. Following the controversy, the webpage was restored to its original form, with the added “DEI” removed from the URL. This incident coincided with the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the federal government.
