The Rev. Robert W. Dixon Sr. was the last known survivor of the all-Black regiments known as the Buffalo Soldiers, who played crucial roles through U.S. history.
Dixon served as a corporal during World War II, contributing to the legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers, who were formed during post-Civil War Reconstruction.
The Buffalo Soldiers were named by Native Americans and fought in various conflicts, exemplifying their courage and resilience in the face of systemic racism.
The all-Black regiments were officially established in 1866 and played a significant role until the desegregation of the U.S. Army in 1948.
