An article on the Defense Department website devoted to Jackie Robinson's military career disappeared and then reappeared, joining a series of government webpages on Black figures that have vanished under the Trump administration's efforts to purge government websites of references to diversity and inclusion.

A webpage about Jackie Robinson’s military service was deleted from the Department Of Defense’s official site on Wednesday (March 19). The move follows a Feb. 27 memo from the Pentagon that called for a “digital content refresh,” resulting in a purge of webpages related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
