Salute To Souldiers Movie Viewing (The 24th) Honoring Buffalo Soldiers

The 24th is based on the true story of the Houston riot of 1917. The film features an African-American military regiment that is called the 24th in Houston, Texas. Despite their military service, the African-American soldiers are subjected to racial discrimination by the all white police force in Houston as well as from the local white people in Houston. The constant racial discrimination leads to a riot and seizure of military weapons by the African-American military unit against the police force and the white locals. The riot and resulting violence ended with multiple soldiers from the 24th being arrested and ultimately executed for mutiny.
