Cathay Williams - buffalo soldja!

Recommended Posts

I just went to a dedication of a monument in her honor in Leavenworth, as she was the first and only known female buffalo soldier. Who knows what this chick was thinking back in the day when she hid her gender to enlist and put herself in danger for what she must have truly believed to be the right thing to do.

 

This chick maybe not literally but for sure figuratively had bigger balls than most of us. What a great celebration today where people of all colors came together to celebrate a lady that probably never imagined she would have notoriety more than a 100 years after her death. And during the ceremony we are reminded that although there is still work to do, we are making strides to provide equal opportunities to every individual, and this is by far still the greatest place in the world to live.

 

God bless America.
