GrandKids: Buffalo Soldier

Buffalo Soldier

Based on the true story of our nation’s longest surviving Buffalo Soldier and veteran of the Spanish-American War, this dramatic play with music tells the heroic story of the brave soldiers of the 9th and10th Cavalries, who served our country well with little of the recognition they deserved. Trooper Jones Morgan served in Cuba and was one of the many Buffalo Soldiers at the Battle of San Juan Hill. He was born in 1883 and passed away in Richmond,Virginia in 1993. His story not only encompasses the experiences of the Buffalo Soldiers in battle, but also tells of his battle to make his story (and that of the black soldier in Jim Crow America) known today.
