Join us Friday, February 24th, as we welcome Earl Mack and Fred LeFebvre from the Toledo Buffalo Soldiers. The Buffalo Soldiers are "an organization of brotherhood and sisterhood, honoring, respecting and representing the legacy and rich history of the United States Army's Cavalry and Infantry Buffalo Soldiers, enacted in 1866 after the Civil War. The Buffalo Soldiers began as six regiments of Black Soldiers of the 60 regiments created during America's reconstruction period, and after the 39th Congress passed the Army Organization Act. During peacetime, the Buffalo Soldiers mainly served on the Western frontier. They were generally deployed as peace keepers of law and order during that period." (Source)
