Seminar: Renaming Southern US Army Bases, Part II: A Case Study of Buffalo Soldiers in Fort Leavenworth during the 1930s   

In this second of three consecutive one-time lectures, Dr. Dahlstrand examines the experiences of the Tenth Cavalry at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, during the interwar period. Originally organized in 1866, the Tenth Cavalry returned to Fort Leavenworth in 1931 in a support role after the Great War. An investigation into discriminatory practices included sworn testimonies from Tenth Cavalry soldiers, revealing their struggles with racism within the army. Despite this, they benefited from benign neglect through U.S. Army athletics and the legacy of Black soldiers in baseball and football. Leaders at Fort Leavenworth, the War Department, and the White House grappled with the challenges of integrating Black soldiers while upholding the SCOTUS decision of "Separate But Equal." Dr. Dahlstrand will be lecturing via ZOOM. This program is being presented as a seminar with limited enrollment to foster discussion.
