The Harlem Hellfighters' Great War (2017x19)

:

Initially known as the 15th Regiment of the New York National Guard, what eventually became the 369th Infantry Regiment was exclusively made up of black soldiers. Nicknamed the Harlem Hellfighters, this American infantry regiment rose to become the most decorated of the First World War. It was not only liberty and democracy that compelled them to travel to France to fight in the war, but also racial equality.
