The military has traditionally been a path to economic prosperity and patriotism within the Black community.

Black Americans make up 19% of active-duty military enlistments, and women make up roughly 17% .

The Trump administration has recently faced backlash for purging Pentagon pages that featured photos and articles about contributions made to the military by women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color and historical figures.

Brookshire believes the aggressive mandate to dismantle DEI is a backlash against Black Americans who have risen to leadership positions in the military.

“ The Department of Defense is still very much a White boys’ club,” Brookshire says.

Still, Brookshire said he doesn’t anticipate a mass exodus of Black people from the military..
