    Arizona State ParksCamp Verde AZ (January 28, 2016) – Join us for the annual Buffalo Soldier re-enactment at Fort Verde State Historic Park on Saturday, February 13, 2016 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Bring your loved ones to Fort Verde State Historic Park and learn about history with the Buffalo Soldiers, watch a Vintage Baseball game with players dressed in period replica uniforms, learn how to cook homemade Dutch Oven meals, and be a part of the flag raising and lowering ceremonies.

    Buffalo Soldiers were originally members of the US 10th Cavalry Regiment of the US Army, formed on September 21, 1866 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. This nickname was given to the “Negro Cavalry” by the Native American tribes they fought. The term eventually became synonymous with all of the African-American regiments formed in 1866.

    On February 13, Buffalo Soldiers will be dressed in period replica uniforms and equipment issued by the US Army during the 1870s Indian War period. The first Buffalo Soldiers troop serving at Fort Verde was Troop I, 10th Cavalry of the Buffalo Soldiers. It was organized in 1866 and came to Fort Verde in 1885, following a distinguished record of military service during the Indian Wars of the Western frontier.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
