Quest for Medal of Honor for NY WWI hero continues

A statue of Henry Johnson is displayed in the Arbor Hill neighborhood on Thursday, July 10, 2014, in Albany, N.Y.

Johnson was a solider in an all-black outfit, the 369th Infantry Regiment, a New York National Guard unit based in Manhattan and known as the Harlem Hellfighters. (AP Photo/Mike Groll)ALBANY, N.Y.

Henry Johnson is a step closer to getting a posthumous Medal of Honor.
