A century and a half ago, Black soldiers, known as “Buffalo Soldiers”changed the face of the military forever. Despite astonishing achievements in the face of heartbreaking adversity, the heroism of these brave men has remained obscure. Until now! Buffalo Soldiers: A Quest for Freedom begins in the turbulent days leading to the Revolutionary War, traverses Frontier expansion and the Spanish American War, and concludes with a modern perspective of military officers of color. This ambitious body of work chronicles, year by year, the extraordinary story of these notable African American men -and yes woman! - and the invaluable service they rendered serving our beloved country. *Director J. Isabelle will be on hand for audience Q&A
