More than a century after their valorous deeds in World War I, the Harlem Hellfighters have finally received the recognition they deserve, awarded the Congressional Gold Medal during a moving ceremony on Capitol Hill. Known for bravely fighting under French command, as they faced racial discrimination back home, this all-Black unit shattered stereotypes by spending an astounding 191 days in combat, earning them admiration on both sides of the battlefield.

Lawmakers shared heartfelt stories of their courage, particularly highlighting Sergeant Henry Johnson's heroics, which led him to become one of the war's most celebrated soldiers. Even as they returned to a segregated America, the legacy of the Harlem Hellfighters faded over time—until now.
