A Dutch war cemetery added displays showing black US soldiers. Then they were quietly removed

In the Netherlands, the removal of displays commemorating African American soldiers at the Margraten cemetery has sparked controversy, with relatives, historians, and politicians demanding a permanent memorial. The American Battle Monuments Commission removed two panels about African American soldiers, coinciding with the Trump administration's DEI purge, leading to concerns about the erasure of black soldiers' contributions. Local communities and historians emphasize the importance of remembering all sacrifices, regardless of race or rank.
