On this Veteran's Day, the Black History 101 Mobile Museum honors the legacy of the Harlem Hellfighters—the 369th Infantry Regiment, an African American unit that broke barriers in World War I. Originally formed as the 15th New York National Guard Regiment, they faced severe discrimination but were welcomed into the French Army, where they served with extreme bravery. Known for their resilience, they spent 191 days in combat—more than any other American unit—without losing a foot of ground or a soldier to capture. This rare stereoview photograph captures these soldiers marching up 5th Ave in NY after the war—one of over 15,000 artifacts preserved in the Black History 101 Mobile Museum. Today, we remember their sacrifice and acknowledge their rightful place in history. Black soldiers fought in every war in American history from the Revolutionary War til today.

On this 29th anniversary of the Million Man March, I am reflecting on the powerful voices of four women who stood before over one million Black men, affirming our dignity and inspiring change. Though there was controversy about the absence of women in the march itself, the presence of Dr. Betty Shabazz, Dr. Dorothy Height, Rosa Parks, and Dr. Maya Angelou was monumental.

Dr. Betty Shabazz's presence carried deep significance, given her historic meeting with Minister Farrakhan concerning her late husband, Malcolm X, and the painful controversy surrounding his assassination. Dr. Dorothy Height, a co-organizer of the 1963 March on Washington finally had the chance to speak to the movement she helped build (Did you know that not one woman spoke at the March on Washington?). Rosa Parks, the mother of the civil rights movement, stood as a living reminder of our collective struggle. And Dr. Maya Angelou, with her words, stirred our spirits, calling us to rise.

These women’s messages alone would have been enough to inspire us all on that historic day. Yet, other legends like Dick Gregory and Stevie Wonder, came to uplift and motivate us. After nine hours of standing, Minister Farrakhan delivered his powerful address, giving us marching orders grounded in atonement, reconciliation, and responsibility. His pledge to us was clear: return to your cities and work for change.

For me, the Million Man March was a turning point. The Black History 101 Mobile Museum is a direct result of that experience—an ongoing pledge to educate and empower our community.

Long live the spirit of the Million Man March!
