The HISTORY Channel: Buffalo Soldiers
I had the distinct honor of illustrating three portraits and five scenes for The HISTORY Channel's "Black Patriots: Buffalo Soldiers."
"Black Patriots: Buffalo Soldiers" is a one-hour documentary that tells the largely unknown story of the country's first all-Black peacetime regiments who fought to expand America's presence in the West and defend the United States on foreign soil.
Narrated by Blair Underwood, an award-winning actor whose father is a retired colonel and served for nearly three decades, the documentary takes a dive into this period of time in America when the Buffalo soldiers were in the midst of protecting and shaping the future of the nation. Their story is told through interviews with military experts, historians and descendants of the Buffalo soldiers, historic photography, original illustrations, and never-before-seen documents.
Big thanks to Malia Kobara and Stacey Holman at A&E and Helen Biles at Bright Agency!
