NABSTMC Shreveport — Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club
NABSTMC Shreveport
ONE CLUB, ONE PATCH, ONE MINDSET
Honoring the legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers through community service, education, and the brotherhood of the road.
ABOUT US
Who We Are
We are not a 1% club and we claim no territory. We are a nonprofit 501c(3) organization and a chartered chapter of the NABSTMC — National Association of Buffalo Soldiers & Troopers Motorcycle Club, the world's largest motorcycle club. We ride to honor the courageous and historic accomplishments of the African American Soldiers of the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments, known as the Buffalo Soldiers.
In 1866, legislation established a peacetime military. Due to segregation, a provision created six African American regiments — 4 infantry and 2 cavalry. In August of 1866, the 9th Cavalry was organized in Greenville, LA and the 10th Cavalry at Fort Leavenworth, KS. The first mission of the recruits, mostly freed slaves, was to escort Native Americans to designated reservations.
The Native Americans gave the soldiers the nickname "Buffalo Soldiers" as a testament to their valor in battle — the buffalo was sacred, so the name was earned. Their mottos: "We Can, We Will" and "Ready and Forward". We honor their legacy through community service and education.

OUR PLEDGE
Buffalo Soldiers' Creed
I am a Buffalo Soldier, and as a Buffalo Soldier, I will uphold the standards and the Traditions set forth by my chapter and the National Association of Buffalo Soldiers and Troopers motorcycle club. I am proud of my colors and the rich history that they represent. I will wear my colors with pride and will do all within my power to educate the general public about the rich history of the 9th and 10th Calvary Buffalo Soldiers. I respect my colors and my Buffalo Soldier sisters and brothers. And when my riding days come to an end, I wish to be remembered as one who served with dignity as a responsible biker and a proud Buffalo Soldier.
