World War II veteran Medgar Evers, whom President Trump called a great American hero, has been erased from the Arlington National Cemetery website, which featured a section honoring Black Americans who fought in the nations wars.
The U.S. Army purged the section that had lauded the late Army sergeant and civil rights leader, who was assassinated by a white supremacist in Jackson in 1963. The decision to erase Evers came after an executive order by Trump to eliminate all Diversity, Equality and Inclusion programs.
