Stolen From Africa
On my way to work, I happened to come across two Buffalo Soldiers, who were part of the Juneteenth march that started behind Garfield High School.
Here is a passage from the most famous song (by Marley) about one of the most complex figures in America’s complex history, the Buffalo Soldier:
If you know your history,
Then you would know where you coming from,
Then you wouldn’t have to ask me,
Who the ‘eck do I think I am.I’m just a Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America,
Stolen from Africa, brought to America,
Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier win the war for America.
Thank you for posting....Beautiful picture.
