France Gave Him Their Highest Honor – America Gave Him Nothing

World War One wasn’t just a European war—and the history you were taught left out hundreds of thousands of Black soldiers who carried its burden. In this documentary, Black Historian uncovers the erased truth of over 600,000 African soldiers, Black American veterans, and forgotten laborers whose sacrifices shaped the modern world but were deliberately written out of history. From the Harlem Hellfighters to the Senegalese Tirailleurs, this is the story empire didn’t want remembered. Watch until the end to understand how historical erasure still shapes inequality today—and why telling the full truth is an act of resistance. #BlackHistory #WorldWarOne #HiddenHistory #ErasedHistory #HarlemHellfighters #AfricanSoldiers #UntoldHistory #ColonialHistory #WW1Documentary #BlackVeterans #HistoricalTruth #HistoryTheyNeverTaughtYou Disclaimer: This video is presented for educational and historical purposes only.
