Related Topics: Jackie Robinson, Jeff Passan

Before Tuesday, there was a story dedicated to the Army history of Jackie Robinson, who defiantly opposed racism in the military before breaking baseball's color barrier, on the website of the Department of Defense.

As of Tuesday evening, it is no longer there.

As KSBW and ESPN's Jeff Passan noted, the webpage has been scrubbed and the URL now features "dei" before the story's headline, indicating it was potentially taken down as part of President Donald Trump's administration's efforts to remove diversity, equity and inclusion programs from everything with ties the federal government.
