In a move sparking controversy, Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about notable Black, Hispanic, and female veterans, as well as historical events like the Civil War, from its website. This decision is part of a larger trend across government websites, raising concerns about the erasure of diverse voices and perspectives. The removal of these resources has significant implications for preserving the history and contributions of underrepresented groups in the military. Key topics affected include African American history, women in the military, and Hispanic heritage, highlighting the need for inclusive representation online.
