Buffalo Soldiers Screening and Director Q&A

NM Veterans Memorial

Join director Dru Holley and the New Mexico Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club for a screening of the film Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on Two Fronts at the NM Veterans Memorial Amphitheater.

The film examines the profound and often contradictory roles played by African American “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. The 14th Amendment promised citizenship in exchange for enlistment, prompting many African American men to sign up. They were denied due to Jim Crow laws, but still served.
