- From the USAHEC Audio Visual Archive, this oral history interview was conducted with SGT James Clark in 1984 at Fort Huachuca. Take a moment and listen as SGT Clark describes his experience as a Buffalo Soldier in the U.S. Army
Proud of you buffalo soldiers, even if the half history would never be told, we will celebrate your courage
Mamadou Bhoye Yeah let's celebrate how Anti Amerindian they were along with there White And Ashkenazi partners

I wanna know how old this bufflo veteran was
This man and the other Buffalo were elite. Nothing but up most respect.RIP.
Very good. I love it 😊
I'm so Proud of Him!!!
What an amazing soldier and gentleman. Would everyone carried themselves in a similar manner...what a truly amazing world it would be then. GOD bless you sergeant, rest in the company of our LORD for all eternity, for you have certainly earned your place, amongst the army of angels.
"Would you have the MPs to take this woman back across the line before I make her an allotment." Too funny!!!
Yeah, it sounded as though there were some shenanigans afoot all around. I would’ve loved to hear more of those kinds of stories...wonder if he or any other Buffaloes wrote about the lighter sides of their time in the service, etc.
Hero in a time when heroes were made. G-d bless you sir . Shalom
It's really nice hearing this testimony from Sgt. Clark. It would be nice to see a movie made from His interview and life experience. May God bless you and your family.
I would like to solut all the buffalo. Soldiers. I had a uncle who was a bffalo soldier who fought in world war 2 . We luv and miss u very much clevlen reddic 💖
Thank you USAHEC for preserving this wonderful piece of U.S. Army history and First Sargent Clark's oral history. I knew of the segregated Army from my father, and my Jr. High Principal Mr. Clark or Clarke. He was a black NCO at Camp Lockett in eastern San Diego, CA, in 1940's, when the horse cavalry was converted to mechanized prior to deployment to Europe. I served at Ft. Huachuca 1970-1971. Later, I learned that there is a street in the Base family housing named for a Private John Dodson, African-American who fought and died courageously on Cuba during the Spanish American War. Would be wonderful if the true history of black Americans and their many contributions become part of the common history, too often written by white people.
Thanks for the upload! Insightful and a good man.
Thanks!
Hey made a key point. "Today people Treat you as you treat yourself."
he is / was old man. that point was very good and he made a few other really deep points too like "if you be good you reap the benefits, it's logical, if you hold up your head and show that you stand for right, the Good Man will help you" and a few others
That's Master Sergeant!
This make a good movie. I hope Hollywood would reconsider rewriting history through movies. :-)
SOME VIEWERS HONOR THE BUFFALO SOLDIERS: That is tantamount to the kkk honoring their wicked ancestors.. What the buffalo soldiers did was merely and extension of the evil. wicked , practices of their white masters. They aided their own enemy in destroying a people, my ancestors , who has never did anything to them.. One oppressed people killing another oppressed people , FOR ? For the same group that oppressed them both. And , the disgrace of it all is that they erect a statue to commemorate it all in kansas... Were they giving thanks to Mr. Lincoln for freeing the slaves , or was this a case of blind patriotism ? And they have the gole to insist that confederate statues be pulled down ... Wow.... what do you call that the word starts with an H
@@watonnaracawan8814 These Buffalo Soldiers kept the name "buffalo soldiers"given them by 1800's native americans due to the appearance of theiir hair. THESE soldiers had nothing to do with any killing in the United States. They were the 92nd Infantry Division. The only combat unit of WW2 consisting entirely of African-American men. They served proudly in Italy and two heroes received U.S. Medals of Honor. I know. My grandfather was the Adjutant General of the unit.
Thank you SGT Clark for your service, where would America be without your dedication and devotion to the United States military forces God bless you!!!✝️👑🕊️⚔️😇🐟🐡🐠🛡️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💎🔥
I believe this video would make a good and interesting movie .

Son documentales que nos sorprenden que la vida nos da muchas sorpresas
And folk taught bad about the Bible and look at this man here, he use the words of wisdom to guide his path. Nuf said.
He's wearing the rank of Master Sergeant(MSG) NOT Sergeant(SGT). Even an E-1 straight out of Basic knows the difference.
Did you watch the whole video? He was a MSG.
Why is his CIB on the other side?
Hmmmm...made 1SG in three months? 😳
Mainly because he did not have any miniature CIB I assumed
By any rate he just wanted us to know about his CIB
AR 670-1 likely changed from the time in which he served

MSG Clark is more appropriate.
FACT! Natives NEVER seen black people!
Ancient Indigenous One and?
Natives owned slaves. Remember the famous "trail of tears"? Black slaves were right along with the slave owning natives. The natives owe blacks reparations and land as well.
Not Facts!
Heroes to everybody except Native Americans
@matthew mann Many of them were American Indian themselves 🎯 Study up🎯
@@edwinbetancourt3958 No they were African Americans
@@matthewmann8969 not all.
@@edwinbetancourt3958 Most of them were though yeah.
Natives were brutal slave owners. Sorry to break it to you. Natives weren't morally upright anyway.
Thanks goes out to all the white people who treated black people decent.
Good history lesson but they allowed blacks in the Air Corp in ww2 when it was part of the army. The Tuskegee Airman were in the Army Air Corp.
I knew several Tuskegee Airmen. You are correct. I did not fault him for that. His memory may have not been all that great at the time.
He was correct at the start of the war blacks could not join the army air corps, they believed blacks were not intelligent enough to fly. The Tuskegee program was expected to be unsuccessful, but they proved them wrong. Blacks still were not allowed to fly in the navy or marine corps.
@@melvinrenfroe224
The Navy would only allow blacks to serve as cooks and the Marine Corps banned blacks from enlisting at the start
of the war. It took the personal intervention of FDR for the Marines to start training black Marines.
MASSAS boys
Original Native there were also natives scouts in the army.
Original Native I side with the native people every time
@@melvinrenfroe224 natives owned black enslaved peoples, you owe this racist extinct buffoon no loyalty.
