Historical Significance:
The Harlem Hellfighters were an African American infantry unit that spent more time in combat than any other American unit during WWI. Assigned to the French Army due to segregation in the U.S. military, they fought with extraordinary courage and earned high honors, including the Croix de Guerre. Despite their heroism abroad, they returned home to face racism and segregation—making this medal a powerful reminder of their service and sacrifice.
