One Of The U.S. Army’s Darkest Past | 13 Black Soldiers Executed

“Take Texas and go to hell. I don’t want to go there anymore in my life. Let’s go East and be treated as people.” - A note written by a black soldier and found beside a railroad track near Schulenburg
On December 11, 1917, the U.S. Army executed 13 Black soldiers who had been previously court-martialed and denied any right to appeal. In July 1917, the all-Black 3rd Battalion of the 24th United States Infantry Regiment was stationed at Camp Logan, near Houston, Texas, to guard white soldiers preparing for deployment to Europe. From the beginning of their assignment at Camp Logan, the Black soldiers were harassed and abused by the Houston police force.
