Clark College presents “Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on Two Fronts” with filmmaker Q-and-A

From noon to 1:30 p.m. Jan. 18, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr., Day, the public is invited to see a free showing of the one-hour documentary film, “Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on Two Fronts.” Directed by Dru Holley of Vancouver, the film will play at noon in the Gaiser Student Center on Clark College’s main campus at 1933 Fort Vancouver Way, Vancouver. Holley will be at the event to answer questions after the presentation.

The Buffalo Soldiers—an African American regiment in the United States Army in the 19th century—fought military conflicts abroad and civil rights struggles at home. The film examines the profound and contradictory roles played in American history by The Buffalo Soldiers and was recently named Pacific Northwest Best Documentary at the Tacoma Film Festival, winning the Audience Choice Award. Clark College will collect unused and unopened hair and skin care products for African American families at the event to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service to others.
