The Buffalo Troopers Motorcycle Club of Chicago was founded in 1994 by Ken “Dream- Maker” Thomas. The club evolved from the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club that was founded in October of 1993. Our focus is to promote a positive image of Black motorcyclist that will be respected in the community. The name Buffalo Troopers was selected to pay homage to, and ensure the legacy of the African-Americans contribution to the military in the post-Civil War era. In 1999, the Buffalo Troopers Motorcycle Club along with other chapters who joined the Chicago Chapter to form the National Association of Buffalo Soldiers and Troopers Motorcycle Club. Clubs were given the option of using Soldiers or Troopers based on whether or not there was an existing club in their area using the name Buffalo Soldiers. The NABS/TMC consists of over seventy chapters in over thirty states, Hawaii and Canada. All chapters in the association wear the Chicago Patch and subscribe to the national by-laws of the NABS/TMC. The club is actively involved in recognizing the accomplishments and sacrifices of African Americans in our society. The NABS/TMC encourages a positive image and behavior of our members and believe that we are role models and share a responsibility to the community. Our membership accepts those men and women who share our values and support our cause. That cause, being not only to give back to our communities, but to our country as well. So it is with this thought in mind that we say
"The Buffalo Troopers-Celebrating the Past, Bridging the Future." |
