When the U.S. Army sent the Harlem Hellfighters to France during World War I, General John J. Pershing handed the Black regiment over to the French Army, expecting them to quietly dig ditches.
Instead, he accidentally started a cultural takeover.
Led by Lieutenant James Reese Europe, the Hellfighters survived 191 grueling days in the trenches But their most lethal weapon wasn't a rifle—it was a brass band.
