Black people who have received Medal of Honor?
Technically speaking, no one has ever won the Medal of Honor. Hundreds of brave American soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines have received the highest award for valor that our nation can bestow since its creation during the Civil War (except airmen, since air warfare didn't come about until WWI). During World War 2, none of the Medal of Honor recipients were African-American. I stress that it was during the war that no African Americans received the Medal of Honor. According to the US military history archives, the US government sought to rectify the situation in the 1990s under President William J. Clinton. After searching the records of thousands of service personnel, ten candidates met the criteria for receiving the Medal. It also took an Act of Congress to award these Medals of Honor, as a statute of limitations had been reached. Of the ten citations for "valor above and beyond the call of duty", seven men were chosen to receive the Medal of Honor for their actions. By the time the Medals were to be presented, however, only one man was still alive. The President decided to award the remaining six Medals posthumously (after death). The only living African American recipient of the Medal of Honor was 1st LT Vernon J. Baker, and he received his Medal of Honor from President Clinton on 13 January 1997. The Medals of Honor for the deceased recipients were awarded to surviving family members, as is the protocol for a posthumous medal.Edits:The ten candidates that were selected for the Medal of Honor had originally received the Distinguished Service Cross. After the government inquiry, it was deemed that their actions should have resulted in the Medal of Honor being awarded. In 1993, the US Army had commissioned a study into racial discrimination in awarding medals during WWII.1st LT Vernon Baker died at the age of 90 from brain cancer on 13 July 2010. Following protocol for Medal of Honor recipients, his body was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. (Source: Wikipedia)
