Who was the first American officer and first African American to lead troops in World War 1?
He and his unit were the 369th Infantry and they weren't white. Due to bigotry and racist feelings amongst many Americans of the day segregation was how things were done. Their leader was one of the first Afro-Americans to become an offcier of the US Army.
Like the guy who is now the President of the US of A, black American's can achieve anything.
Go look up Jim Europe and see how the man came to be great.

∙ 12y agoI don't think they were involved in any famous military action. I assume you are asking what did the 369th Infantry Regiment do?
The 369 Infantry Regiment was one of the regiments of the all-black 93nd Infantry Division. I believe they did eventually serve in combat in the Philippines. For further research, look for a history of the campaigns in the Philippines. Another source is the US Army history book "The Employment of Negro Troops". This 500-page book is available for download or viewing on the US Army's site for the Center for Military History.
