Black History Month faces uncertainty under President Trump's diversity rollback
Briefly

In President Trump's early days back in office, he executed an executive order that dismantled federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, affecting educational initiatives at schools. This action potentially threatens private sector diversity initiatives, a topic that civil rights organizations view as a significant regression in civil rights. While some interpretations of this move suggest it aims to minimize 'wokeness,' advocates like Marc Morial from the National Urban League argue it harms the progress made. Furthermore, historians highlight that erasing Black history could send a troubling message about how America remembers its past, complicating its acknowledgment of historical contributions.
For the men and women of the Tuskegee Airmen, this isn't DEI-it's plain old history. Military history. American history.
This move signals possible legal challenges to private sector diversity efforts, which civil rights groups say could dismantle decades of progress.
