Join a Park Ranger for a 45-minute PowerPoint presentation on how new technologies created opportunities for Buffalo Soldiers to take on positions of leaderhip.
As new modes of transportation were developed; they were adapted for military use. These new modes of transportation created new opportunities for soldiers to step into roles of leadership or be part of new regiments. African Americans took advantage of these new opportunities and combated the negative perception of their leadership abilities in the Army.
