276 - The Harlem Hellfighters

from Don't Look Now · host Jeni McDonald and Will Hageman

The 369th Infantry Regiment, now known as the Harlem Hellfighers, or the Black Rattlers, was formed in the lead up to the US's entry into WWI as a regiment of black men predominantly from New York City and surrounding areas. It ended up being the US unit that spent more time on the front lines of WWI then any other unit, being detached and assigned to French command, fighting with distinction in multiple battles. We discuss how the regiment was founded, some famous members, and their legacy today.
