No Medal of Honors were awarded to African Americans during WWI or WWII. They were awarded decades later.
2/ In the early 1990s, the Army worked with Shaw University in Raleigh, N.C., to determine if any racial disparity was present during the process of considering Medals of Honor for black troops.

Their Medal of Honors were delayed by bias and discrimination.
