Buffalo Soldier Display |
African Americans have
fought in military conflicts
since colonial days. However
the Buffalo Soldiers,
comprised of former slaves,
freemen and Black Civil War
soldiers, were the first to
serve during peacetime. Much
has changed since the days
of the Buffalo Soldiers,
including the integration of
all military servicemen and
women. However, the story of
the Buffalo Soldiers remains
one of unsurpassed courage
and patriotism, and will
forever be a significant
part of the American
history.
The Border Heritage Center
of the
Main Library
will
present an informative
display reflecting the
prolific history of the
Buffalo Soldiers for your
enjoyment during the month
of February. |
