Support The Buffalo Soldiers Association of West Point Special Project

The Special Project Committee plans to implement activities and events to raise funds for the Buffalo Soldiers, and we would like your support. Your active involvement along with the hard work of our awesome Board of Directors and Special Project Committee members will ensure that we meet our goals to erect a Buffalo Soldiers Monument at the United States Military Academy in 2021. The Special Project Committee’s aim is to unveil the Buffalo Soldiers Monument in the year of the 140th Anniversary of the United States Military Academy Class of 1877 at West Point.

The aim of the  project is three-fold:

​

1. That in standing on the historic grounds of West Point, the monument's reflection of the legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers will be comparably  presented to soldiers, veterans, and  communities of the eastern and northeast regions of our nation, enjoying prominence similar to others now located mainly only in the west and southwest.

2. That by replacing the current memorial rock, the memorial will be visually striking, compelling, and a more fitting tribute in telling the story of the Buffalo Soldiers' service to the nation, highlighting their service at West Point, and

3. That, as with the academy's recent naming of its newest barracks after general Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., this striking new bronze statue, standing in tribute to the service of the Buffalo Soldiers there, will serve TO INSPIRE countless soldiers, veterans, cadets and citizens of the northeast region of our nation for generations to come.
