Black history for those of us not taught it: Henry Johnson fought for the US in WWI & killed a German soldier in ✋-to-✋ combat to save a US soldier. His heroism was not recorded, which meant he didn’t get the 💜 he deserved. Destitute, he died in 1928. Pres. Clinton posthumously gave him a 💜 in 1996.

Black history for those of us not taught it: The “Harlem Hellfighters” was an all-Black regiment in WWI that saw battle for 191 days, which was more than any other US unit. Despite being welcomed home with a parade, racism was another war they had to fight against for the rest of their lives.
