The Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club PRESERVING AND PROMOTING THE CULTURE OF The Buffalo Soldiers

 

Believing that it was time to establish a modern progressive motorcycle club whose focus was to  promote a positive image among African Americans  that would be respected in the community and throughout the country, Ken Thomas founded the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club of Chicago in October 1993. The name Buffalo Soldiers was initially selected to pay homage to and ensure the  legacy of African American military contributions  in the post Civil War era.

Under the leadership of Ken Thomas, the new club was chartered as the Buffalo Troopers Motorcycle Club of Chicago Membership in the club grew to a total of ninety- two (92) during that first year, making it the largest African American motorcycle club in Chicago, IL. The clubhouse was located at 8510 South Ashland Avenue. The clubhouse displayed many items dedicated to the history and memory of the Buffalo  Soldiers such as pictures, books, statues, and an  authentic buffalo head donated by member Ernie Daurham. In 1996, the club moved from this location  to its current location at 13039 S. Western Ave. Blue  Island,  Illinois. The club’s popularity grew as members attended the national roundups and rallies  held in various cities in the country. This popularity transformed into interest of other clubs in affiliation  with the Buffalo Troopers M/C of Chicago, Illinois.
