Celebrating America's 250th Black History Month 1776 - 2026
In commemoration of the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, The Buffalo Soldiers Museum will honor the contributions of American freedom to inspire a contemporary understanding of our nation’s enduring journey towards freedom. Our events will be free and open to the public. We will bring together the communities of Seattle and Tacoma-- our two sites for the project-- fostering civic engagement, historical appreciation, and a shared understanding of national identity. This shared understanding will be rooted in both our triumphs as a nation and our ongoing pursuit of a more perfect union.

Program events will promote an immersive, educational, transformative, and celebratory experience. By thoughtfully weaving together historical narrative, expert commentary from our panelists, and community celebration, our project will not only commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence but inspire a deeper appreciation for the ongoing American pursuit of liberty and justice for all.
Enjoy an evening of dynamic panelist and conversation.
