Black Jack was the nickname of the commander of the Americans in France, General John J. Pershing. Supposedly Pershing acquired this nickname as a young officer while serving with one of the Army's traditionally black regiments, the 9th and 10th Cavalry. These regiments were the famed "Buffalo Soldiers" of the Great Plains, and had black soldiers and white officers. These soldiers also had a lot to do with the capturing of San Juan and Kettle Hills in Cuba during the Spanish-American War, with Pershing as one of their officers, but Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders got all the glory.
