Episode Details

Recently, Arlington National Cemetery removed links to webpages detailing the contributions of Black, Hispanic, and female veterans buried at the site2. This change was part of a broader effort by the Trump administration and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to eliminate references to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from government websites3.The removed content included:

• Pages from the "Notable Graves" section that highlighted Black service members3.
• Educational materials, including lesson plans on African American history and walking tours featuring the Tuskegee Airmen.
• Lists grouping notable figures by race and gender, which were previously accessible but have now been taken down.

While Arlington officials stated that some of the content may be restored after review, critics argue that this move represents an attempt to erase historical narratives that emphasize the contributions of marginalized groups3.Would you like to explore how this decision has been received by historians and the public?
