actors, directors, this Black history month.

Wanted to watch one on the Buffalo soldiers - I learned that they were some of the 1st park rangers, such as in Yosemite!

But all I could find were ones pitting AA soldiers against Native American tribes (which I know is actual history), but there must be other stories of them.

here.

Shame that AA history is so long ignored!

I spent several years reading a library of NA history.

So Important to know ALL our history.
