During World War I, African Americans served in various capacities, both in combat and support roles, despite facing racial discrimination and segregation. About 350,000 African American soldiers served in the U.S. Army, with the 369th Infantry Regiment, known as the Harlem Hellfighters, earning significant recognition for their bravery. However, upon returning home, many faced continued racism and limited opportunities, which fueled the Great Migration and the struggle for civil rights in the following decades. Their contributions laid important groundwork for future movements advocating for equality and justice.
