Greatest Hits - Black Sparrow and Buffalo Soldiers
Since colonial times, African-Americans have fought in America’s wars.

Despite the continuous discriminatory treatment that denied blacks full participation in America’s wars and military efforts, these brave men and women lived lives that deserved to be remembered.Music by Kevin MacLeodRead the full script.Reach out and touch Mo...
