This week we continue the story of the Harlem Hellfighters by exploring their homecoming parade down 5th Avenue in the New York City - possibly the largest parade in the history of a city that loves parades - and focusing on arguably the two most famous veterans of the 369th. First, Jim Europe, who was a household and considered the musical successor of Scott Joplin. He also invented a dance that is still well known and danced the world over today. The second is Henry Johnson, who was working as a porter in a train station before the war but when he returned, he was known as the Black Death for his exploits on the battlefield. Both men survived the horrendous experience that was the Great War only to return home and meet tragic fates.  

This weeks Ghosts of Arlington are:

1. Army First Lieutenant James Europe (Section 2, Grave 3576)
2. Army Sergeant Henry Johnson (Section 25, Grave 64)
