NDP Black Caucus
While many historians have called for a “critical reappraisal” of the Buffalo Soldiers due to their
use by the United States government against Native Americans to suit its forceful expansionist
objectives, we as an organization pay homage to the men who fought for a country they loved
during a time when that love was sorely and routinely tested. We as African-Americans in
Nebraska have also displayed courage and resilience in the face of fierce challenges. Widely
mixed attitudes by whites, segregation, political victories, failures and unrest have provided high
and low points in African- American lives and in the history of Nebraska as a whole. But like the
Buffalo Soldier, we as a people remained true to the promise of our state and our nation. So, we
honor the Buffalo Soldier with our logo, remembering the tragedies of the past while charging
fearlessly into our future.
