Buffalo Soliders of the Pacific Northwest in the news
““The central focus of our documentary is these accomplished Black men that are in our past that we need to remember, and to remember the strength that’s in our DNA,” Holley said. “It’s about knowing that we have more of a history than slavery in America, that we’re also bad-ass Buffalo Soldiers, and they did more of the work than fight Natives. We want to say, ‘Don’t be scared to come out of the inner cities and go to the national parks. That’s part of our history too.’” ”
““Everywhere we went, everybody has been very supportive,” Holley said. Bringing to life an under-told story connecting black people to Pacific Northwest history is a golden opportunity for parks and educators, as well as for this pair of black filmmakers and their community, he said.”
