The Illinois National Guard’s Delta Company, 8th Infantry Regiment gathered to train on Camp Lincoln, Springfield, in 1899. The all-Black 8th Infantry Regiment would fight in the Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II. The “Fighting” 8th Infantry fought bravely overseas and fought racism at home. In World War I it was the only Black unit commanded by all Black officers. The Illinois National Guard will celebrate its 300th year in 2023 with communities across the state.
