The 92nd Buffalo Division was an all African-American segregated combat unit that fought with outstanding heroism in Italy during the Second World War. The 'Buffalo Soldiers' were men who valiantly fought two wars at the same time: one against the Nazis, the other against racial discrimination. Those who survived found that their contributions went unnoticed when they returned to the United States. Featured are little-known aspects of the story, plus an appearance by President Barack Obama.
