110- Buffalo Soldiers, the REAL heroes of San Juan Hill?


Listen Later


Today we look at the famous Buffalo Soldiers which were a famous black american military regiment formed directly after the American Civil War. For many black Americans, they were the first official black heroes of the US military. We specifically focus on their service during the Spanish American War and how a famous American President (Theodore Roosevelt) may have stolen quite a bit of their thunder in order to improve his own legacy.
