Eric Reed became obsessed with the history and legacy of the black soldiers while a Sergeant and 26 year member of the Phoenix Police Dept. Since his retirement he has been telling their stories for over 20 years through presentations, displays and uniform reenactments.
How was it that the oppressed became the oppressor and then be honored by their enemy by calling them "Buffalo Soldiers"? Did you know - the name "Buffalo Soldier" would hence be applied to all members of the arms services (male and female) since 1866 at its formation to 1948 when the armed services were integrated by executive order 9981.
Join us for a fascinating exploration of this part of the USA's Western Heritage.
