<div dir="ltr">Greetings!<br>
<br>
<font color="#000000">I am reaching out to U of A's College of Agriculture & Life Sciences about an exciting exhibit we have coming in next month at the <b>Tucson Desert Art Museum, </b>in honor and recognition of<b> Black History Month</b>. The exhibit is
entitled, <b> </b><i style="box-sizing:border-box; line-height:inherit; font-family:Raleway,sans-serif; background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.9)"><b>Buffalo Soldiers: The 10th Cavalry Regiment Told Through the Art of David Laughlin</b>.</i> You can read about
the exhibition here: </font> <a href="https://www.tucsondart.org/museum-exhibitions/" target="_blank">https://www.tucsondart.org/museum-exhibitions/</a> <font color="#000000"><br>
<br>
</font><font color="#000000">The reception is taking place <b>Friday, February 7th from 6-8PM</b> and we would be honored to have you and your colleagues, and/or students in attendance! The event will include an engaging presentation by Dr. Michael Engs (Founder
of AZ Heritage Tours), as well as a documentary screening about the history of the Buffalo Soldier.<br>
<br>
<b>Admission to the event is FREE for students</b>, military (active & veterans), our museum members, and members of <b><a href="http://www.azbuffalosoldiers.org/" target="_blank">GSAAC</a></b>; the Buffalo Soldiers education group that we are collaborating
with on this exhibition and opening.<br>
<br>
<font face="arial, sans-serif">Currently, GSAAC is working with The City of Tucson (Ward 5) on erecting a Buffalo Soldiers Memorial Plaza. <b>At this present time, </b><span style="box-sizing:border-box"><b>there are no monuments or museums in Tucson representative
of contributions Black Americans made in settling Southern AZ; it is GSAAC's plan to change this.</b> Th</span>e construction of this monument will preserve and recognize the important contributions of the Buffalo Soldiers whom were stationed in Southern AZ.<br>
<br>
<b>The opening event is also a fund & awareness-raiser for this imperative project by the GSAAC, so p</b><b>lease share amongst your contacts!</b></font></font></div>
