This week we take a chronological journey through the legacy of men of color in the U.S. military, culminating in the heroic saga of the Harlem Hellfighters during World War I. Beginning with the Revolutionary War and moving through significant periods such as the Civil War and the era of the Buffalo Soldiers, we set the stage for a deep dive into the formation, battles, and enduring legacy of the 369th Infantry Regiment, known as the Harlem Hellfighters.

Discover how these brave soldiers, hailing from Harlem and beyond, overcame racism and discrimination to serve with unparalleled valor on the battlefields of Europe. Awarded the French Croix de Guerre for their bravery, their story is not just one of military heroism but also a critical chapter in the broader struggle for civil rights and racial equality in America.

From the trenches of WWI to the victory parade in Harlem, and onto the integration of the military, the legacy of the Harlem Hellfighters and their predecessors in arms highlights the complex journey of men of color in the U.S. military.
