    Hey, A plus on finding a start! Names, regiments, and other details in the post give me a lot of stuff to work with

    Edit: I already have a lead since they referenced the buffalo soldiers in the hashtags

    Edit 2: the picture is legit! The Smithsonian Institute has it in their online archive. It’s too late for me to verify most of the other claims in the post, but this picture, and more importantly this person, was real. Also, definitely read about Lt. Aaron Fisher. He was a great leader, stifled by systemic racism and still managed to achieve great things at Saint Die.
