As we approach the nation's 250th birthday, PBS News is looking at some notable, but lesser-known, people and moments in American military history.

Of the more than 350,000 Black U.S. service members who served in World War I, 89% were assigned to labor support units due to discrimination.

But one segregated infantry regiment came out of the war highly decorated and renowned: the 369th Infantry Regiment, known as the "Harlem Hellfighters."

PBS News' Cecilia Lallmann explores the regiment’s storied legacy, from its beginnings as New York State’s first all-Black National Guard unit to its historic achievements during World War I.

This post was produced by Cecilia Lallmann, Shyla Duff, Julia Griffin, Travis Daub and Dan Cooney.

🚨 DAMN.

Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:

“My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.”

She was SIX.

And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense.

Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.

Just because of the color of her skin.

A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.

A family had a bad experience in a restaurant and this situation could have gone so many different ways. These children will grow up and have successful lives because of wonderful parenting. #HIAW 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Clarice Phelps is the first Black woman credited with discovering a periodic element, Tennessine (Element 117). She works at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and now mentors the next generation. Black women belong in STEM. When we see ourselves in science, we know we belong there too.

Powerful tribute to #ReneeGood. Artist Noval Noir painted a live portrait of her to honor her life at the memorial in Minneapolis. Art speaks when words fall short. We must continue to tell her story and Say Her Name.

I Heard It Through the Grapevine" was written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for Motown Records in 1966. Strong, the singer on Motown Records' breakthrough hit, "Money (That's What I Want)", had the basics of a song he began writing in Chicago, where the idea came to him while walking down Michigan Avenue where people always said, "I heard it through the grapevine."

The song's first recording was released by Whitfield for Gladys Knight & the Pips and launched as a single in September 1967. It peaked at number one on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and number two on the Billboard Pop Singles chart, quickly becoming Motown's best-selling single up to that point.
