Narrated by Golden Globe nominee and award-winning actor\u00a0<strong>Blair Underwood<\/strong>, the documentary tells the incredible, yet largely unknown, story of the Nation\u2019s first, all-Black peacetime regiments who fought relentlessly to expand America\u2019s presence in the West and defend the United States on foreign soil. These soldiers\u2019 unwavering valor, bravery, and service alongside their heroic acts of resilience on and off the battlefield, paved the way for future generations of African American men and women to join and succeed in the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The HISTORY\u00a0Channel<\/a> is committed to highlighting historical figures and events that shaped our nation for the better, and the story of the Buffalo Soldiers is one of courage, perseverance and heroism that deserves to be told,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Eli Lehrer, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming for The HISTORY\u00a0Channel<\/strong>. \u201cWe are honored to partner with Blair Underwood to bring this story to life and shed light on this incredibly important piece of history for our audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy father is a retired Army colonel who served for nearly three decades, so highlighting and honoring our veterans is a cause that I care deeply about,\u201d said actor\u00a0<strong>Blair Underwood<\/strong>. \u201cI am thrilled to partner with The HISTORY\u00a0Channel to tell the story of the Buffalo Soldiers and how their bravery and insight provided endless contributions to our Nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1866 as the United States recovered from the bloody aftermath of the Civil War, Congress passed the Army Reorganization Act, authorizing the creation of six, all-Black peacetime regiments. These brave men, who would later become known as the Buffalo Soldiers, fought admirably for decades to support the Nation\u2019s expansion in the West through tasks that included protecting settlers and national parks, building roads and infrastructures, and participating in significant military efforts, while also helping to capture cattle rustlers, thieves, and combat other threats. However, the Buffalo Soldiers were fighting for more than just national expansion and victory on the battlefield. Simultaneously, they were fighting for equality and justice at home. Featuring interviews from military experts, historians and descendants of the Buffalo Soldiers and coupled with historic photography, original illustrations, and never-before-seen documents, \u201c<strong>Black Patriots: Buffalo Soldiers<\/strong>\u201d takes an in depth look at an important time in American history and spotlights the remarkable soldiers who played a pivotal role in shaping and protecting the Nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The History\u00a0Channel will also be creating educational resources for schools to learn more about the history of the Buffalo Soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 286 140'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/HISTORY-Channel-e1650306211896-1024x504.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-160188\" width=\"286\" height=\"140\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>Black Patriots: Buffalo Soldiers<\/strong>\u201d joins a number of other programs and initiatives from The HISTORY\u00a0Channel commemorating Memorial Day including the premieres of the previously announced presidential documentary event \u201c<strong>Theodore Roosevelt<\/strong>\u201d on\u00a0Monday, May 30 at 8PM ET\/PT\u00a0and new series \u201c<strong>The American Presidency with Bill Clinton<\/strong>\u201d on\u00a0Monday, May 30 at 10:30PM ET\/PT. \u201cTheodore Roosevelt\u201d marks the networks fourth premium presidential miniseries.
