In the summer of 1952, Sarah Keys Evans was 23 years old and wearing her Women's Army Corps uniform when she was arrested and jailed overnight for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white Marine. She had never taken part in a civil rights protest before that night. After her arrest, she spent years fighting her case through the courts, winning a ruling that helped pave the way for Rosa Parks and the Freedom Riders. She did all of this as a soldier who had already given her service to her country.

The U.S. Army honored her story with a commemorative article on its official website, published in 2014. That article was quietly removed last July, at the height of a Pentagon campaign ordered by President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to scrub military websites of content related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

An Army spokesperson told reporters that historical articles would be republished "to better align with current guidance." After public pressure, some pages came back. Jackie Robinson's was restored. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team's was restored. Sarah Keys Evans' has not been.

Erasing a veteran's story from the institution she served is not a content policy. It is a choice about whose sacrifice counts. Keys Evans wore the uniform. She fought in the courts. She helped change the law of the land. The Army's record of its own history should reflect that.

Sign this petition to demand the Army restore Sarah Keys Evans' commemorative page and reverse the broader policy of removing military histories based on the identities of the service members they honor.
