Who Were the Harlem Hell Fighters?
The 369th Infantry Regiment, famously known as the Harlem Hell Fighters, holds a place of honor in American military and civil rights history. Formed in 1913 as a National Guard unit based in Harlem, New York, the regiment was composed primarily of African American soldiers determined to serve a country that often denied them basic rights.
When the United States entered World War I in 1917, the 369th was among the first units sent to Europe. Due to racial segregation in the U.S. military, they were assigned to fight under French command, where their skill and valor were immediately recognized and respected. What followed was one of the most extraordinary records of service in American military history.
The Harlem Hell Fighters spent an unmatched 191 consecutive days on the front lines—longer than any other American unit—and never lost a single man to capture or an inch of ground to the enemy. Their heroism during the Battle of Meuse-Argonne and other campaigns earned them the prestigious French Croix de Guerre for battlefield gallantry.
Upon returning home, however, these heroes were met with the harsh realities of segregation and injustice. Yet their unwavering service laid the foundation for future generations and helped ignite the Civil Rights Movement. Their courage ultimately contributed to the desegregation of the U.S. military.
Their legacy was officially honored when President Joe Biden signed the Harlem Hell Fighters Congressional Gold Medal Act into law, and the medal was awarded on August 25, 2021—a long-overdue tribute to their sacrifice and impact.
Let us rise to this moment.
Let us send our youth to witness history, honor legacy, and carry forward the spirit of the Harlem Hell Fighters.
HALLELUJAH FOR THE HELL FIGHTERS!
