• Regular Men by Natasha Crosby
  America's buffalo soldiers at the turn of the century were used to inequality. In fact, they almost expected it. Mingo Sanders, a soldier in the Twenty-fifth infantry stationed out of Fort Missoula, Montana, chooses not to dwell on these inequalities. A former cotton-picker from North Carolina, he enlisted in the Army, worked hard, and rose to the highest rank a man of color could achieve – that of First Sergeant. Upon their return, they were dispatched to forts nationwide, serving loyally where needed despite numerous incidents of racism and bigotry. It was at one such fort in Brownsville, Texas, on the night of August 13, 1906, that would change their lives forever.
