Today we honor and remember the all-Black 369th Division of WWI brave soldiers called "Harlem Hellfighters". They were one of the first African- American regiments to serve with the American Expeditionary Forces then.

Did You Know?

The United States refused to have Black and White soldiers fighting alongside each other, and they were forced to change their uniforms and fight with the French. As France was severely lacking soldiers to fight in the trenches, the government persuaded the United States to requisition some of their troops.

🌟 Created by Saint James,a talented 26-year-old Black artist from Atlanta, Georgia, these mirrors reflect a journey of universal consciousness, African diasporic spirituality, and unseen glorification. Grounded in Harlem's landmarks, each mirror unveils narratives preserved by a modern-day griot, aiming to unearth and level Black stories of the past with present-day audiences.
