• We are back celebrating Black History Month. Today we recognize the 369th infantry regiment of the New York Army National Guard during World War I better known as the Harlem Hellfighters. The Hellfighters were the most celebrated African-American regiment in World War I and confronted racism even as they trained for war. They helped bring jazz music to France and then battled Germany longer than almost any other American soldiers. Like their predecessors in the Civil War and successors in the wars that followed, these African-American troops fought a war for a country that refused them basic rights. Their bravery stood as a rebuke to racism and a moral claim to first-class citizenship.
