African-Americans have been present on the Texas plains since 1530, almost two centuries before English settlers landed at Plymouth Rock. The region was largely secured for settlement by the sacrifices of black “buffalo soldiers” of the U.S. 9th, 10th, 27th and 28th Cavalry as well as the 24th & 25th Infantry regiments, plus the Seminole-Negro Indian scout detachments who helped subdue the Apache. There were black cowboys, sutlers, freighters and farm families from the beginning of “civilization” in the area.
