(1) When the United States officially entered 
World War I in April 1917, the Armed Forces were 
still segregated, even though African-American sol-
diers had served and distinguished themselves in 
every war since the Revolutionary War. 
(2) The 15th New York National Guard Regi-
ment was mobilized in 1917 as the 369th Infantry 
Regiment and called into Federal service on July 25, 
1917. 
(3) The 369th completed its basic military 
practice training at Camp Whitman, New York. 
(4) To receive combat training, the 369th re-
ported on October 8, 1917, to Camp Wadsworth, 
South Carolina, where the 369th experienced many 
incidents of racial discrimination. 
(5) Because many White soldiers refused to 
perform combat duty with Black soldiers, members 
of the 369th were initially assigned manual labor 
tasks, such as loading and unloading supplies, and 
constructing roads and railroads. 
(6) To escape such prejudice, the Regiment 
shipped off to France in early 1918 and, on April 
8 of that year, was assigned to the French Army for 
the duration of American participation in the war.
