Page honoring Charles C Rogers for his Vietnam war service is now defunct with letters ‘DEI’ added to website address

Summary

The U.S. Department of Defense removed the webpage honoring Maj. Gen. Charles C. Rogers, a Black Vietnam War hero awarded the Medal of Honor in 1970.

The page now returns a “404” error, and its URL was changed to include “DEI.” Rogers, the highest-ranking African American to receive the medal, was awarded by President Nixon in 1970 for heroism during the Vietnam War.

The deletion follows Trump’s efforts to roll back DEI initiatives in the federal government, including an executive order terminating diversity programs.

The Defense Department has not commented on the removal.

    America is racist.

    Not every American, obviously.

    But as a nation, institutionally, America is racist.

    Some times it’s more so than others, but it always is, to varying degrees throughout its history.
