A leaked memo from the Defense Intelligence Agency shows personnel were instructed to suspend observances of certain holidays that do not specifically honor white men, including Holocaust Remembrance Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Black History Month, according to a document
obtained by journalist Ken Klippenstein.
The memo lists at least one holiday or special commemoration for nearly every month: Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday in January, Black History Month in February, Women's History Month in March, Holocaust Day/Days of Remembrance and Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May, Pride and Juneteenth in June, Women's Equality Day in August, National Hispanic Heritage Month in September and October, National Disability Employment Awareness Month in October, and National American Indian Heritage Month in November.
