#CharlesRogers became the highest-ranking #Black soldier in the U.S. to receive the #MedalOfHonor. The Dept of Defense just took down his web page and added "dei" to the URL.

The erasure of this Black #MedalOfHonor recipient is another example of what I'm helping to document on @wikipedia with the help of the @internetarchive.
While doing research for the @wikipedia article on #CharlesRogers, I learned that in 2023, #JimJustice, then-Governor of #WestVirginia, broke ground on a nursing facility named in Rogers' honor. Justice is now a senator, and recently introduced a bill to create a monument to #MedalOfHonor recipients. I wonder if he knows or cares about the government's erasure of Rogers' web page.

If they want to alter the history how long does it take they start to close Wikipedia? I hope you are not revealing too much about what you actually edit. Editing Wikipedia can turn out to be dancerous or illegal.

I've been open about my identity on Wikipedia for the entire 16+ years I've been editing, but that's my choice. As a Black trans person, Trump/Musk have plenty of other reasons to go after me besides my Wikipedia editing.
