Despite racism, segregation, and many other challenges faced by African American soldiers in the 92nd and 93rd Infantry Divisions, they served with distinction during the war. The 92nd Infantry earned citations and awards for meritorious and distinguished conduct while in France.

content: Panorama of Company C of the 367th Infantry just back from France in 1919. The photograph features six rows of soldiers dressed in uniform. The soldiers in the two back lines are standing staggered so that all are visible. The middle two rows features soldiers kneeling and holding their guns to their sides, pointing upwards. The second row from the bottom features soldiers sitting and pointing their guns towards the proper left of the panorama. The first bottom row has most of the soldiers posed, laying on their sides on the ground and four soldiers sitting cross-legged at center. One solider stands off to the proper left side facing the company. Buildings and other people, some dressed in uniform, are visible in the background of the image. Included in the photograph is Private George Morrison Sr., seated in the second row from the bottom, eight from the proper left. A title on the bottom, center right of the image reads [Company C. 367th Infantry “Just back from France]. The back of the photograph is blank.
