There were only two all-black Infantry Divisions in WW2: 91st and 92nd Division. There were some independent infantry regiments and other support troops, including a tank battalion. The 320th Anti-aircraft Artillery Balloon Barrage Battalion was an all-black unit that landed on D-Day.

This is the most famous black unit in France. The 3275th Quartermaster Service Company landed on Omaha Beach but I'm not sure if it was the first day, as supply units may not have arrived that soon. In conclusion, I would say there were NO all-black infantry regiments that landed on D-Day on 6 June.
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. http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/jreurope.htm
In regiments from several states, blacks fought alongside whites in the same units. However, most black combat soldiers were organized into units designated 'N' or 'C' (Negro or Colored). All the enlisted men were black and nearly all of the officers were white. Before the creation of those special all-black units, many regiments used black soldiers for support duties such as cooking, tending mules, and driving wagons. By the end of the war nearly 10% of the Union Army was black.
The 9th Cavalry was a black regiment, with white officers, formed in 1866 in Louisiana. Originally its subunits were companies, but this designation was changed for cavalry regiments to troops in 1883. The 9th and 10th (Negro) Cavalry were the famed "buffalo soldiers" of the Great Plains and the post Civil War Indian actions. The name was given them by the Plains tribes. The 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments, along with the 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments, were for many years the traditional black units of the US Army. These were very proud and extremely professional units. The ranks were full of men who served for many years, and the regiments could be very selective about which men were accepted for enlistment. In 1898 they fought in the Spanish-American War in Cuba, alongside Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders. The 9th and 10th Cavalry lacked commanders with the genius for self-promotion of Roosevelt, and so did not get the credit that Roosevelt obtained for the Rough Riders through his connections in the press, but they were right there the whole way. The 9th Cavalry then spent several years in the Philippines, fighting in the Moro Insurrection, and was back in the states to take part in the "Punitive Expedition" led by Blackjack Pershing in 1916 into northern Mexico, chasing Poncho Villa and his band. Pershing - who would soon be named to command the Americans sent to France - was called Blackjack for his service as an officer in the 10th Cavalry. After the Punitive Expedition the 9th Cavalry returned to the Philippines, and remained there during WWI.

The Buffalo Soldiers of the 10th and 24th Infantry Regiments played the most crucial role in the capturing San Juan Hill. These were the Negro Cavalry, as named by the Native Americans.
Many negro slaves found asylum in Federal forts or in working for Federal troops. Many also enlisted in the United States Colored Troops regiments. Free blacks in the north had their own regiments, notably the Massachusetts 54th Infantry.
Battle of Negro Fort happened on 1816-07-27.
Taken from the Bible's Book of Joshua, the Negro spiritual sings about the Battle of Jericho.
The Negro leagues were US professional baseball leagues. The term is usually used to include 7 leagues, also called "Negro Major Leagues" which began in 1920.
Joshus fit the Battle of Jericho and the walls came tumbling down. One of the best known examples of Negro Spiritual music

The Black people served in the supply forces, as cooks, as general workers and to serve back in the US. Eleanor Roosevelt felt for the plight of the black service people and finally got the congress to allow the Blacks to serve in combat. They became gunners on the ships, pilots (Tuskegee Airmen) and tank warriors and put into other infantry positions. They turned out to be America's best pilots and tank regiments. They were also the most highly decorated pilots of the war. The ones who could not read however did not get to excel.
The possessive form for the noun negro is negro's. Example: The Black Star Line, a shipping business established in 1919, was funded by individual negro's investments.
