A Little Bit Of History: The Harlem Hellfighters

Union — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:48:55 +0000

When America decided in 1917 to join World War I, both black and white men were drafted into the war. However, because of the 14th Amendment, which at the time allowed for separate but equal treatment, the two races would never fight together in the trenches. It was during this period that the all-black 369th Infantry Regiment was born. Also known as the Harlem Hellfighters, the men were sent to fight with French allies on the Western Front. In the beginning they were given only menial tasks, but as the war progressed, the 369th fought alongside the French, Moroccan and Senegalese soldiers. In the end, they fought longer than any other American unit, spending over six months at a time in combat.

Walking To Listen

Union — Tue, 21 May 2013 19:02:35 +0000

“On October 14, 2011, I walked out the backdoor of my home in Chadds Ford, PA and began a cross-country search for the most basic human interface of them all: stories. Every one of us has an extraordinary story worth hearing, and I’m walking the country to listen. There’s no such thing as the Average Joe, no such thing as a boring, uninteresting, unexceptional life (for more on this, see this poem by Yevgeny Yevtushenko). This walk is to honor that. Life is fast, and I’ve found it’s easy to confuse the miraculous for the mundane, so I’m slowing down, way down, in order to give my full presence to the extraordinary that infuses each moment and resides in every one of us. We’re a country of great diversities and divisions; sharing stories, I think, is one way to find resonance.”

That is how Andrew Forsthoefel began his AMAZING WALKING ADVENTURE across America.
