Hon. Al Green, the U.S. Representative for the 9th Congressional District of Houston, Texas, speaks during a ceremony at the Buffalo Soldiers Museum in downtown Houston, Texas on Nov. 13, 2023. The Houston Riots of 1917 is a culmination of violent acts done in result of racial injustice toward Soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment, belonging to one of four "Buffalo Soldier" regiments in the U.S. Army during World War I. Also known as the Camp Logan Mutiny, a mutiny and riot was conducted by 156 of those Soldiers on August 23, 1917. By March 26, 1918, three separate courts-martial were held in the Fort Sam Houston chapel in San Antonio, Texas that indicted 118 enlisted men of I company, finding 110 convicted as guilty with harsh punishment of hanging and life sentences in federal prison. The ceremony was conducted to not only lift the adverse action placed on the Soldiers in Army history, but to also pay tribute to their service and serve as public acknowledgement of the unjust wrongs they endured.
