Arlington Cemetery Deletes Black, Female Veteran Histories From Website
Arlington National Cemetery has removed online biographies and historical information about Black, Hispanic, and female veterans, including Medal of Honor recipients and members of the Tuskegee Airmen. This action, attributed to President Trump’s executive orders banning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the federal government, has sparked controversy. While a cemetery spokesperson stated they are working to restore the content, the removal reflects a broader effort to eliminate DEI practices within the military. Critics, including Representative Adam Smith, expressed deep concern over the decision.
