Buffalo Soldiers exhibit up at Ontario museum
Ontario Museum of History and Art’s latest exhibit, “For Race and Country: Buffalo Soldiers in California,” which explores the role of Black soldiers in the U.S. Army over history and their impact in California, is up through Sunday, March 1, 2026, at 225 S. Euclid Ave., Ontario. Gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
“Through photographs, objects, historical records, newspapers, musical scores, and media representations, the exhibition presents a sweeping narrative of Black soldiers and their families who made California home during the era of government-sanctioned racial segregation in the US military,” according to a news release.
Curated by Susan Anderson, Ontario’s installation is based on the California African American Museum exhibition of the same name.
Additional programming related to the exhibit — including a 14 and over free screening of “Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on Two Fronts” at 5 p.m. January 8 — will take place throughout the show’s run. Visit ontarioca.gov for information.
