Buffalo Soldiers photo exhibit

An exhibition by local photographer Ryan T. Bell, “Buffalo Soldiers: Ready and Forward,” continues through Tuesday (June 15) at the Methow Arts office on Glover Street in Twisp. Bell’s photographs document a group of Black horsemen called the Buffalo Soldiers of Seattle, a group honoring the role of African Americans in the frontier West. The nonprofit organization is based in Yelm, but draws members from across the Puget Sound region to help keep alive the memory of the original Buffalo Soldiers.
