The Buffalo Soldiers Monument at West Point is a top priority for the Buffalo Soldiers of West Point (BSAWP). The Buffalo Soldier Monument will raise visibility of the Buffalo Soldier to a level that is more befitting of West Point, and in keeping with norms reflected by other monuments across the nation.

In bringing this vision to reality, the Association has established a Special Project Committee with the exclusive purpose to design, fund, build, erect, and donate to West Point a memorial that accurately and effectively depicts the Buffalo Soldier?s contributions to the United States of America, in general, and to West Point, in particular. As we embark on fundraising initiatives, we look forward to the Special Project Committee, in collaboration with West Point Museum (the oldest Army museum in the U.S), to complete the Buffalo Soldier Monument project by September 2017. The success of the Special Project Committee is imperative to commemorate the historical legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and is the Association?s top priority in the near term.

The Buffalo Soldiers Association of West Point (BSAWP) has partnered with the West Point Chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) to establish an after school program, Operation Impact, for 5th through 8th graders. We aim to increase and sustain public and youth engagement with STEAM, paying particular attention to underrepresented and underserved populations in the community.
