Trivia: The all-Black 369th Infantry Regiment was known by what nickname?
Washington Warriors
Harlem Hellfighters
Boston Braves
Philadelphia Powers
Correct Answer: Harlem Hellfighters
So why is this answer correct? : America’s military was strictly segregated during WWI, but several all-Black units served in the conflict. The most famous of these was the 369th Infantry Regiment, better known as the Harlem Hellfighters, who spent more time in combat than any other American unit and received France’s highest award for bravery. The unit also helped introduce jazz to Europe, but despite its many accomplishments, its members, like other Black soldiers, continued to face racism at home after the war.
