369th Infantry Regiment

The 369th Infantry Regiment, also known as the "Harlem Hellfighters," was a distinguished African American unit in World War I. Formed in 1917, it was notable for its bravery, combat effectiveness, and the fact that it spent more time in continuous combat than any other American unit during the war. The regiment was part of the U.S. Army but often faced segregation and discrimination. It gained national and international recognition for its valor, and its members became symbols of African American resilience and patriotism, paving the way for future civil rights progress.
