In short, it was true that the Defense Department removed the article about Robinson as part of a departmentwide push to "remove all DoD news and feature articles, photos and videos that promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" in accordance with a Feb. 26 memo that described the removals as a "digital content refresh."

The website article’s disappearance appeared to be part of the Trump administration’s push against diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the government.

President Donald Trump announced last month that Jackie Robinson would be added to his planned National Garden of American Heroes.
