Jackie Jones-Hook, the daughter of a former American prisoner of war and executive director of the Tacoma Buffalo Soldiers Museum, is trying to protect a military site from commercial development that was critical to the selection of the American Lake area as the location of Camp Lewis, which was established in 1917. Her father, William Jones, was a Buffalo Soldier who later held as a prisoner of war during the Korean War. Before he died in 2009, he requested that memories of his time serving as Buffalo Soldier be preserved. In 2012, Jones-Hook established the 9th and 10th Horse Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers Museum in Tacoma, Washington, one of only two museums dedicated to Buffalo Soldiers in the country. (US.
