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 United States Department of Defense has restored an article on its website honoring Jackie Robinson after having removed it in an effort to purge "DEI" (diversity, equity and inclusion) content.
