Hello and welcome to our site and
organization. I am Eddie Glover a.k.a “Jazman”, President of the
Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club (M/C), Alabama. We would like to take
this opportunity to personally thank you for visiting our website. We
hope that you will find it interesting as well as informative.
The Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club of Alabama is part of the National
Association of Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club. We
do not claim any area or territory, we
are about promoting a positive image of
African-American motorcyclists across the
country.
Our founder and first President was very enthusiastic
and took great pride in establishing this
Buffalo Soldier Chapter, and had visions of it
growing to be one of the largest clubs in the
state of Alabama. With the help of people such as
Mr. Calvin Smith a.k.a "Honey Bear", our
Vice President,
and other dedicated people, we can build a
dynamic, progressive and innovative
organization.
While many people
may have heard of the “Buffalo Soldiers,” many
are not aware of their history and contributions
within the Huntsville area.
In 1888-99, the Tenth Cavalry,
comprised of African-American soldiers, encamped
at Cavalry Hill, the current location of
Huntsville’s Academy for Academics and Arts.
As Huntsville has
grown over the years, so has the appreciation of
the valiant efforts of the Buffalo Soldier’s
Tenth Cavalry’s important role in the city’s
history and contributions to the Spanish
American War.
Mission Statement The 9th and 10th U.S. Cavalry-"Buffalo Soldiers"-were recipients of hand-me-down uniforms, equipment, weapons...and discrimination. Of all American soldiers, they had the hardest fight. There was not only the enemy to defeat, but the hearts and minds of their fellow soldiers to be won.
Our mission is to never let the legacy of these great and honorable men be forgotten. To accomplish this, we strive to instill pride in the minds and hearts of our youth. We gladly provide mentorship and education to those unaware of the true history of the 9th and 10th Cavalry units. We wear the colors, and ride under the name ‘Buffalo Soldiers’ to express our pride and respect for our comrades, grandfathers, fathers, uncles, sons and brothers. We are a non-profit organization comprised mainly of African American men and women who love, and are dedicated to the sport of motorcycling. We also promote a positive image of African Americans across the country. As a motorcycle club, we pride ourselves in and we are dedicated to family, community and charitable organizations, God and country. The Buffalo Soldiers of Alabama is a Motorcycle Riding Club and we provide a safe and friendly environment for members.
