Preserving a legacy with a mission to uplift and impact our future
Welcome to the official website of the Buffalo Soldiers Association of West Point, Inc. (BSAWP). Thank you, for visiting our site.
The Buffalo Soldiers Association of West Point is a not-for-profit membership organization that aims to acknowledge, honor, promote, and preserve the history and contributions of Buffalo Soldiers and military persons that served the United States of America in the Hudson Valley region, and beyond.
Our primary focus is to educate future generations about the historical legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers that served at the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York, from 1907-1946. We will accomplish our mission by conducting educational awareness programs, recognizing veterans and individuals for their outstanding achievements and leadership, hosting annual memorial events at West Point, and providing science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) programs for youth, both regionally and nationally. Our STEAM programs will prepare youth to pursue career fields in the military and college with the standard of excellence and teach them the values and history of the Buffalo Soldiers of West Point.

“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
