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.

The Black Rattlers
That would depend on whose 369th Regiment it was and even a time line.For example: Infanterie Regiment 369 (Croatia) saw service in WW2 as a part of the 100th Jaeger Division of the German Army at Stalingrad.The 369th Infantry Regiment (United States) was the famous Harlem Hellfighters or Black Rattlers which gained fame and glory as the first African American Regiment in WW1 with the French Army at the Second Battle of the Marne and was the first allied unit to reach the Rhine River.
