Screening of "Buffalo Soldiers: A Quest for Freedom"

For Black History Month, join the Black Law Students' Association of McGill (BLSAM) for the screening of this awesome documentary by the Isabelle Bros. Everyone is welcome to learn more about the legacy of the ''Buffalo Soldiers''.

''A century and a half ago, Black soldiers, known as 'Buffalo Soldiers' changed the face of the military forever. Despite astonishing achievements in the face of heartbreaking adversity, the heroism of these brave men has remained obscure. Until now! Buffalo Soldiers: A Quest for Freedom begins in the turbulent days leading to the Revolutionary War, traverses Frontier expansion and the Spanish American War, and concludes with a modern perspective of military officers of colour. This ambitious body of work chronicles, year by year, the extraordinary story of these notable African American men - and yes woman! - and the invaluable service they rendered serving our beloved country.'' - Montreal International Black Film Festival

BLSAM is grateful to the Isabelle Brothers for shedding light on this forgotten legacy.
