Overview

• Arlington National Cemetery removed links to webpages about Black, Hispanic, and female veterans, as well as Civil War history, to comply with Trump administration directives.
• The removed materials include educational content, notable grave listings, and lesson plans covering diverse military contributions.
• A Pentagon memo directed a 'digital content refresh' to eliminate references to diversity, equity, and inclusion across Department of Defense platforms.
• Officials stated they are working to restore some content in alignment with federal guidelines, though no timeline has been provided.
• Historians and veterans' groups have criticized the changes, calling them an erasure of important historical narratives and contributions.
