[Pacific Film Foundation], [2014]: film (Buffalo soldiers; African American regiment fought in Italy in World War II) National Museum of African American Heritage and Culture website, "Buffalo soldiers: legend and legacy," accessed April 19, 2019: ("the 9th and 10th Cavalries and the 24th and 25th Infantries, known as 'Buffalo Soldiers.' These all-black regiments were led mainly by white U.S. Army officers 'all-black regiments'"; popular lore was that term coined by Native Americans because of soldiers' dark curly hair resembled a buffalo mane or because the soldiers fought like the fierce Great Plains buffalo; "African American soldiers embraced the moniker by World War I when the 92nd Infantry Division adopted the buffalo as the symbol for its unit patch" ; regiments have been immortalized in popular culture through songs like reggae giant Bob Marley's "Buffalo Soldier") <https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/manylenses/buffalosoldiers> |
