Henry "Black Death" Johnson served as a member of Company C, 369th Infantry Regiment, 93rd Division, American Expeditionary Forces (The Harlem Hellfighters), during combat operations against the enemy on the front lines of the Western Front in France.

While on night sentry duty, May 15, 1918, Johnson and a fellow Soldier, Pvt. Needham Roberts, received a surprise attack by a German raiding party consisting of at least 12 soldiers.

While under intense enemy fire and despite receiving significant wounds, Johnson mounted a brave retaliation resulting in several enemy casualties. When Roberts was badly wounded, Johnson prevented him from being taken prisoner by German forces.

After his rifle jammed, Johnson exposed himself to grave danger by advancing from his position to engage an enemy soldier in hand-to-hand combat. Wielding only a knife and being seriously wounded, Johnson continued fighting, took his Bolo knife and stabbed it through an enemy soldier's head.

Displaying great courage, the 5ft 4in Johnson held back the enemy force until they retreated. The enemy raid's failure to secure prisoners was due to the bravery and resistance of Johnson and his fellow comrade. The effect of their fierce fighting resulted in the increased vigilance and confidence of the 369th Infantry Regiment.

The Black American Heritage Flag was designed in 1967 by Melvin Charles and Gleason T. Jackson. According to the designers, the blunted sword represents pride, while the gold wreath represents peace, prosperity and everlasting life. Red is for the blood that has been shed by the community for freedom, justice and human dignity, and black represents the pride in their skin color and the black community.
