Legacy of George Washington Prioleau

George Washington Prioleau gave up a normal life to become the spiritual backbone of the

Buffalo Soldiers. Born in 1856, he defied the odds to graduate from Wilberforce University

before joining the 9th Cavalry. For thirty-five years, he moved constantly,

stationed at places like Fort Robinson, sacrificing time with his own family to support troops

facing unimaginable hardships. He was the glue holding his regiment together.

Visiting his memorial puts it all in perspective; his legacy proves that true heroism is about resilience

and showing up for others when they need it most.
