What are the causes and consequences of prejudice and injustice, and how does an individual’s response to them reveal his/her true character?
Join a Park Ranger for a 45-minute PowerPoint presentation on the "Buffalo Soldiers and the Holocaust".
As the Allies Forces pushed into German controlled areas, they encountered and liberated survivors from concentration camps. The Allied Forces included American Army's segregated all-Black units, nicknamed the Buffalo Soldiers. This connection built on shared experiences culminated in the fight against injustice abroad and at home.
