LIVE from the Buffalo Soldiers Convention!

The Another View broadcast LIVE from the Buffalo Soldiers Convention at the Hampton Roads Convention Center. We share the story of the famous Buffalo Soldiers, members of the African American Cavalry Regiments of the U.S. Army who served their country from 1867 to 1896. They were given the nickname 'Buffalo Soldiers' by the Native Americans they encountered while serving in the Western part of the United States. Today, modern day Buffalo Soldiers ride on motorcycles, not horseback! They share the legacy of those original members and give back to the community through scholarships, food giveaways and school supplies. Joining us to talk about this American history is Dr. Cassandra Newby Alexander, Historian and Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Norfolk State University; Nathan Mack, Buffalo Soldiers National President; Ken Thomas, Founder and Jerome Smalls, Hampton Roads Chapter President.
