The Harlem Hellfighters spent 191 days in the trenches on the front lines — longer than any other similarly sized American unit. They also suffered more casualties than any other American regiment during the war, with about 1,400 killed or wounded. https://t.co/Qyyk8S0HZP — PolitiTweet.org

This week, Congress voted to award the Congressional Gold Medal to the Harlem Hellfighters — a black National Guard unit from New York that fought in WWI. Although they served with distinction and honor, their service was ignored or overlooked in their own lifetimes. https://t.co/r6NYRtQKfS — PolitiTweet.org

Despite risking their lives abroad to defend our freedoms, they faced racism and segregation here at home. We can't make up for the injustices they endured, but we must honor their service and ensure their stories are never forgotten. https://t.co/odwDQdXuRg — PolitiTweet.org
