"It’s a history that has been largely forgotten, even though some monumental physical traces remain. The 370th Infantry Regiment is one of only a handful of African American regiments that served in World War I and the only one commanded by all black officers, yet few people know about this unit of young black men from Illinois who fought for a country that beat, lynched, and discriminated against them and people who looked like them."
