The San Angelo Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) under the leadership of its President (2019-2022), Sherley L. Spears, initiated a project to create a Buffalo Soldier Memorial in the Paseo de Santa Angela Park to finally honor the legacy of those courageous Army soldiers men and give special recognition to many who served at Fort Concho and the four who are buried at Fairmount and Delta Memorial Cemeteries in San Angelo, Texas. The project has been named in honor of the past leaders and members of the San Angelo NAACP, and will be called the San Angelo NAACP Buffalo Soldier Memorial. This memorial establishes a place of honor for the many who have not been given their proper recognition in United States history and the United States Army.
