Is the Arlington cemetery color segregated?
The Arlington National Cemetery is not color segregated, and it never has been. The cemetery was established in 1864 as the final resting place for Union soldiers who had died in the Civil War. Over time, the cemetery has grown to include the graves of veterans from all wars and conflicts in which the United States has been involved. There are over 400,000 graves in Arlington National Cemetery, and while the majority of them belong to white soldiers, there are also graves of African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans. The cemetery is a reminder of the sacrifices that all Americans have made in defense of their country, regardless of their race or ethnicity.
