Was dedicated in 1992 to the memory of the 9th & 10th Cavalry
Regiments comprised of black soldiers. Headquartered in Louisiana
and Leavenworth, Kansas, these troopers proved their bravery
and valor throughout the Indian Wars. They won the respect
of the Cheyenne warriors who named them "Buffalo Soldiers,"
a badge of honor accepted and worn with pride by these black
cavalry troopers.
The project, initiated by General Colin Powell, was dedicated
in July 1992 and is open to the public.
