What did the 369th infantry regiment accomplish?

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.
