African Americans in the Army: 1868-1948
Following the Civil War, when nearly 200,000 African American men served, the U.S. Army established 4 African American infantry (later modified to 2) and 2 cavalry regiments in 1868. They initially served in the West but fought in the Spanish American War and the two World Wars in segregated units. It was not until 1948 that Executive Order 9981 integrated the military. What was life like for these soldiers? Where do you find service and pension records?

Annuaires urbains : aucune ville n’est trop petite, aucun indice n’est insignifiant
Thu, March 12 2026: 14:00 UTC

Ce webinaire fait partie du séminaire de généalogie MyHeritage d’une journée, diffusé en direct depuis le siège de MyHeritage à Or Yehuda, en Israël. Les sous-titres et la voix de cette vidéo ont été doublés en français à l’aide de l’IA.
