How do you keep a people down? ‘Never' let them 'know' their history.

"If a race has no history, it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated."

Dr. Carter G. Woodson 1875 – 1950

“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.”

Marcus Garvey 1887-1940

"A tree without roots can bare no fruit, it will die."

Erich Martin Hicks 1952 - Present

Keep telling that history, our history:

Read the novel; Rescue at Pine Ridge, "RaPR", a great story of black military history...the first
generation of Buffalo Soldiers.

The 7th Cavalry got their butts in a sling again after the Little Big Horn Massacre, fourteen years later, the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. If it wasn't for the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, there would of been a second massacre of the 7th Cavalry.

Read the novel, “Rescue at Pine Ridge”, 5 stars Amazon, Barnes & Noble and the youtube trailer commercial...and visit the website

I hope you’ll enjoy the novel. I wrote it from my mini-series movie of the same title, “RaPR” to keep my story alive. Hollywood has had a lot of strikes and doesn't like telling our stories...its been “his story” of history all along…until now. The movie so far has attached, Bill Duke directing, Hill Harper, Glynn Turman, James Whitmore Jr. and a host of other major actors in which we are in talks with see imdb.com at;

When you get a chance, also please visit our Alpha Wolf Production website at; and see our other productions, like Stagecoach Mary, the first Black Woman to deliver mail for Wells Fargo in Montana, in the 1890's, “spread the word”.

Peace.

TO WHAT EXTENT IS THE MOVIE BUFFALO SOLDIER(1997) AN ACCURATERE PRESENTATION OF HISTORICAL FACT?

-Like many historical movies ,I think it is very near the historical fact.Buffalo Soldiers originally were members of the U.S. 10th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army, formed on September 21, 1866 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The nickname was given to the"Negro Cavalry" " by the Native American tribes they fought; the term eventually became synonymous with all of the African-American regiments formed in 1866:Although several African-American regiments were raised during the Civil War to fight alongside the Union Army (including the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry and the many United States Colored Troops Regiments), the "Buffalo Soldiers" were established by Congress as the first peacetime all-black regiments in the regular U.S. Army.

On September 6, 2005, Mark Matthews, who was the oldest living Buffalo Soldier, died at the age of 111. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. -----------Buffalo Soldiers (1997) Fact based story about the all-black US Cavalry Troop H which protected the Western territories in post Civil War times. The story focuses on the troops attempts to capture an Apache warrior named Vittorio who slaughters the settlers in New Mexico. The film examines the racial tensions that existed between the black soldiers and some of the white soldiers and the truths about the Indian invaders.

--------- Following the conclusion of the Civil War, Congress passed a law that created regiments for African-American soldiers in the United States Army. These divisions were stationed across the frontier and treated with utter disdain by many of their fellow fighting men and superior officers. Buffalo Soldiers tells the story of First Sergeant Washington Wyatt (Danny Glover), the boss of the H Troop of the 10th Cavalry. Based on real-life events, the film covers their dangerous search through the bleak New Mexico landscape for the Apache warrior Vittorio. The elusive enemy's raids on the settlers must be stopped, but his conduct may not be worse than the white soldiers who appear primed to drive the Native Americans from this land.

Originally airing on TNT in December 1997, this historic western appears on DVD immediately prior to Black History Month, and its story is worth telling. However, the limited scope of the television production and too many simplified, one-note characters lessen the overall effectiveness. Glover provides an intriguing lead character who faces nearly constant insults from close-minded white officers and realizes that responding to them will accomplish nothing. His own troops also begin to lose faith in him when evidence suggests that their superiors might not be in the right. Wyatt takes everything in stride and displays a commanding presence that nearly holds the story together. Glover outshines the predictable script and keeps the dreary film from becoming too melodramatic during most of his scenes. But he can only accomplish so much in the long run, and the later moments stumble during the lengthy pursuit.

The story begins with the saddening images of Texas Rangers stringing up innocent Apaches in hopes of acquiring information about Vittorio. Luckily, the Buffalo Soldiers arrive in time to save the day and apprehend the rangers, but their heroism seems a bit too obvious and lacks much depth. The early moments immediately spotlight Myketli Williamson as Corporal William Christy, who delivers a much-needed strong supporting role. However, the talented actor isn't given much to do in the overall story, which places most of the burden on Glover. He performs well, but the lack of enough notable characters makes things more difficult. The few amicable officers include Bob Gunton (The Shawshank Redemption) as Colonel Grierson, an outspoken guy with little love for the army's brutal activities. Gunton plays against type and displays some impressive range, which keeps his character from becoming too simple. On the other hand, Tom Bower chews up scenery as General Pike and depicts a caricature that destroys every scene that he occupies. One cruel, violent action during the night from his character receives only passing attention, which unfairly lessens its importance.

Buffalo Soldiers covers plenty of complex themes, including the conflict between the African-American soldiers' allegiance to the army and their misgivings about killing members of another maltreated minority. Wyatt tries to hide his thoughts by injecting tremendous energy into the search, but unnecessary deaths within the regiment start to raise doubts. The script delves into this theme, but it uses extremely obvious moments to underscore the points, including the death of a major character and Vittorio's unlikely appearance. The final moments play out as expected and provide a fairly satisfactory ending, but the emotional aspects fail to dr
