The Common Reading Program is hosting a screening of the 2023 documentary “Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on Two Fronts” on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 4:30–6 p.m. in CUE 203 on the Pullman campus. The film, directed by Dru Holley, examines the profound and often contradictory roles played by Buffalo Soldiers in U.S. history, with African American men fighting both military conflicts abroad and civil rights struggles at home. The film will be introduced by Ryan Booth, a WSU historian, who is featured in the film and addresses the displacement of Indigenous peoples in the American West by U.S. military, including the Buffalo Soldiers.
This film is presented as part of WSU’s observance of Veterans Day.
