The U.S. Army has set aside the convictions of 110 Black soldiers who were arrested following the 1917 Houston Riots.
The armed forces branch approved a recommendation, made by the Army Board for Correction of Military Records, that the soldiers' courts-martial convictions be set aside, the Army's Public Affairs office announced in a news release Monday. The soldiers were part of the 3rd Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment.
The military service records of the soldiers, also known as "Buffalo Soldiers," will be corrected and characterized as honorable, the Army said.
"After a thorough review, the Board has found that these Soldiers were wrongly treated because of their race and were not given fair trials," Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth said in a statement. "By setting aside their convictions and granting honorable discharges, the Army is acknowledging past mistakes and setting the record straight."

The Army retroactively pardons the black Houston mutineers of 1917, who rampaged through the city shooting white civilians at random, including a teenager who was just sitting on his porch—what part of their actions are we rehabilitating exactly?
