2. Their short, curly hair resembled that of the buffalo.

BUFFALO SOLDIERS
• The term was originally given to a selected group of soldiers, but later became the name to call ALL of the Black soldiers who fought.
• Although their story was excluded from history books for years, some pay honor and respect to their legacy TODAY.
