The creation of programming to explore the history and impact of African American servicemen and women in the United States military at the Buffalo Soldier National Museum, and the retention of five jobs.

This project is focused on the expansion of the Center for African American Military History dba The Buffalo Soldier National Museum's core history related programming. Specifically, we have identified a need for support of our oral history collection efforts, our living history re-enactment program and the development of an interactive map of the historical Buffalo Soldier trail to support our History in the now programming. Our History in the now programs engage a wide and diverse audience in exploring the history and impact African American servicemen and women in the United States and will encourage an informed and open public discussion to deepen an understanding of places, objects, and intangible heritage that offer a diverse exploration of the past.
