Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on Two Fronts
Established by Congress, the 14th Amendment promised citizenship in exchange for enlistment, prompting many African American men to join up. This film by “Local, USA” examines the profound and often-contradictory roles played by Buffalo Soldiers in U.S. history, and how they fought on two sets of front lines: military conflicts abroad and civil rights struggles at home.
