EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photo captures the resilience and bravery of African American soldiers who served in World War I. Taken in February 1919 aboard the S. S. Stockholm, it showcases returning U. S. soldiers from the Black 369th Infantry Regiment, proudly wearing their Croix de Guerre medals. The image is a testament to the significant contributions made by these men during a time when racial discrimination was prevalent in America. Despite facing adversity both at home and on the battlefield, they fought valiantly for their country's freedom. The composition of this photograph is striking; rows of determined faces stare back at us with pride and determination. Each soldier represents not only his individual story but also stands as a symbol of hope and progress for future generations. The Croix de Guerre medals adorning their chests serve as tangible evidence of their exceptional courage and heroism displayed during combat operations. These accolades were awarded by France to recognize acts of valor demonstrated by foreign troops fighting alongside French forces. As we reflect upon this historic moment captured on film, let us remember the sacrifices made by these brave men who defied societal norms and fought for justice on multiple fronts – both abroad and within their own country. Their legacy continues to inspire us today as we strive towards equality and inclusivity in all aspects of society.
