Summary

[edit]
Description

This site honors Colonel Charles Young whose achievements throughout life broke ground in a segregated society. This soldier, diplomat, and civil rights leader overcame stifling inequality to become a leader in his time and a role model for future generations. He was one of the first African Americans to graduate from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. His subsequent work as an officer with the Buffalo Soldiers led him to become the first African American superintendent of a national park during a time when the military oversaw some national parks.
