The American Battle Monuments Commission published with this weaselly statement about the removal of two panels at Margraten cemetery honouring Black soldiers who helped liberate the Netherlands.
It says the changes were part of a "schedule for periodic rotation to include new content for visitors".
Statement by American Battle Monuments Commission on Netherlandds American Cemetery Visitor Center Panel Displays: The American Battle Monuments Commission's Netherlands American Visitor Center features 15 magnetic servicemember panels designed to be removed and rotated throughout the life of the exhibit to highlight as many individual stories as possible. Of these, four currently feature African American servicemembers buried at the cemetery. The panel featuring Technician Fourth Class George H. Pruitt is currently off display, though not out of rotation. ABMC staff have developed a schedule for periodic rotation to include new content for visitors. Based on internal review of interpretive content under ABMC's previous secretary, the agency rotated out a single panel display in March which features a quote ffrom 1st Lt. Jefferson Wiggins, an African American soldier who survived the war. For more than a century, ABMC has been committed to honoring the memory of our fallen servicemembers. The exhibit at the Netherlandds American Cemetery honors those military members buried or memorialized at the site regardless of race, creed, rank or origin – a direct reflection of the makeup of our cemeteries. ABMC remains committed to collecting and sharing the stories of profound service and sacrifice during WWI and WWII, including the historically documented personal experiences of contributions in the aftermath of these wars which helped establish America's sacred military cemeteries, monuments, and memorials.
