Charles Young – First Black Colonel in the US Army

At a celebration of Black History Month in the Rotunda of Cleveland City Hall two members of the Ohio Chapter of the Buffalo Soldiers, Str8up and Truck, told us about General Charles Young. Charles Young was the third African-American graduate of the United States Military Academy, the first black U.S. national park superintendent, first black military attaché, first black man to achieve the rank of colonel in the United States Army, and highest-ranking black officer in the regular army until his death in 1922. In 2022, in recognition of his exemplary service and the barriers he faced due to racism, he was posthumously promoted to Brigadier General, and a promotion ceremony was held in his honor at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. There is a monument to General Charles Young at the intersection of Prospect Ave. and Prospect Rd. in Cleveland. https://www.clevelandpeople.com/group.... They also spoke of the Buffalo Soldiers who originally were members of the 10th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. Their name was given to the Black Cavalry by Native American tribes who fought in the Indian Wars. There is a lot of background noise from the celebration but you can hear the speakers. https://www.clevelandpeople.com/group...
