On July 24, 1992, General Colin Powell, who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, dedicated the Buffalo Soldiers Monument at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The monument honors the contributions and legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers, African American military units that served in the U.S. Army, particularly during the post-Civil War era. The Buffalo Soldiers were instrumental in the Indian Wars, protecting settlers, building infrastructure, and preserving national parks in the American West. The dedication of this monument was an important moment in recognizing the historical significance and valor of these soldiers.
