During World War II, a total of 13 Black soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor for their courageous service. However, many of these awards were not given until decades later, as racial discrimination often delayed recognition of their heroism. The contributions of these soldiers have since been acknowledged as integral to the war effort and the fight for civil rights.
