Yes, Arlington National Cemetery was racially segregated in the past. During the era of segregation in the United States, African American soldiers and their families were not allowed to be buried in the cemetery until after World War II. It wasn't until 1948 that the cemetery officially opened its doors to individuals of all races for burial.
