Description
How far do we need to look to find the full picture?
The Spanish-American War of 1898 was fought to free Cubans from Spain’s imperial hold. American’s fought side by side with the Cubans, but even though they were fighting for freedom and equality, African American soldiers were fighting for those same rights at home.
Join a Park Ranger, for a 30-minute talk on Buffalo Soldiers in the Spanish-American War and the valor they contributed to free others. Let us take a deeper look of what happened during the war, rather than what was fabricated later.
