EDITORS COMMENTS
WWI: PARADE, 1919. Color bearers of the 369th Infantry Regiment at the start of the parade up Fifth Avenue in New York City. Photographed on February 17,1919, this image captures a momentous homecoming for African American soldiers who served valiantly during World War I. The men proudly march in formation, their rifles held high and their faces filled with determination and pride. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of a victorious procession but also in its representation of racial progress amidst a time of deep segregation and discrimination. The 369th Infantry Regiment, known as the 'Harlem Hellfighters, ' was an all-black unit that faced both enemy fire and prejudice from within their own ranks. Despite these challenges, they emerged as one of the most decorated units in U. S military history. In this aerial view shot by an unknown photographer from above the bustling city streets, we witness a powerful symbol of resilience and triumph over adversity. The regiment's standard bearer leads the way with Old Glory unfurled, while other color bearers carry flags representing their individual companies. This sepia-toned print serves as a reminder that even during times marked by inequality and injustice, brave individuals like those depicted here fought for freedom and equality on foreign soil – paving the way for future generations to come.
