HISTORIAN SONYA RENAE HODGES-GRANTHAM

My birth name is Sonya Renae Hodges. Grantham is my maternal grandmother's maiden name. During the year of 2008, I found and organized the 371st Historical Society WWI. Please view the site: www.worldwar1.org  On August 26th - 29th, 2011. We are planning to have a Coming Together Reunion to honor the "Brave Soldiers of the : 369th Harlem Hell Fighters, 370th, 371st Blue Helments and 372 Infantry Regiments, 93rd Division *(Colored)., WWI. The regiments were comprised of Black Soldiers that were placed under the French Command. The 369th was the first regiment to enter France. The 371st was the only Black Regiment from the south, that comprised of enlisted men and draftees, Camp Jackson, South Carolina, August 1917.... My grandfather, Sanco Thompson fought with both the 371st and the 369th. I have some beautiful items to display. Hope that you can come and view the artifacts.   My Familis History can be found in the Richland County Public Library,  1431 Assembly Street and South Carolinana Library. Two books will be released, the latter part of the summer, 2011. I will give more details later.
