In a move that has escaped the scrutiny of major media outlets, Arlington National Cemetery's website has quietly removed sections highlighting the contributions of Black, Hispanic, and female veterans. Gone are the pages that celebrated the lives of trailblazers like Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, General Colin Powell, and the intrepid Tuskegee Airmen. The narratives of valor from the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion—the only all-Black, all-female Women's Army Corps unit to serve overseas during World War II—have been stripped from view. Even the stories of pioneering women such as First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and World War II combat photographer Marguerite Higgins have been erased.​

The missing links, removed between December 2024 and March 12, 2025, were as follows:

African American History, removed from the Notable Graves subsection.
Hispanic American History, removed from the Notable Graves subsection.
Women's History, removed from the Notable Graves subsection.
African American History, removed from the Themes drop-down of the Education section.
Civil War, removed from the Themes drop-down of the Education section.
Environment at ANC, removed from the Themes drop-down of the Education section.
Medal of Honor, removed from the Themes drop-down of the Education section.
Service Branches, removed from the Themes drop-down of the Education section.
Women's History, removed from the Themes drop-down of the Education section.
Freedman's Village, removed from the History of Arlington National Cemetery subsection.
Section 27, removed from the History of Arlington National Cemetery subsection.
