Be sure to watch the Tuskegee Airman Movie. Long before the Civil Rights movement, the Tuskegee Airmen
fought for equality for the Black Americans and the Brown, Red, White and Yellow
Americans. First the Black Americans integrated the Armed Forces and then a
whole nation and did it with competency, skill, valor, and courage in combating
the enemy abroad and racism at home. Because they stood tall, African Americans
and fellow Americans are all the better for it. They did it because they
were Americans too. The United States is their country and their families
live here because they are from the United States. The Tuskegee Airmen
fought for America all the way up to giving up their lives for all Americans.

Long before Civil Rights, the
Tuskegee Airmen fought for equality. First they integrated the Armed Forces,
then a whole nation and did it with competency, skill, valor, and courage in
combating the enemy abroad and racism at home. Because they stood tall, African
Americans and fellow Americans are the better for it.

African American history. The only all-black
flying unit to serve in WWII. Established in 1941, the pilot-training program at
Tuskegee, Alabama, had been
designed as an "experiment," without full military support to ensure its success
and with many officers predicting utter failure. Despite segregated facilities
at the base, hostile reactions from the locals and other demoralizing
conditions, the aviators trained at Tuskegee went on to fly hundreds of missions
over North Africa and Europe.
They were known as Red Tails for the designs on their
planes; they earned the nickname Red-Tail Angels with their reputation for
staying with the bomber planes they escorted. The pilots of the 332nd division,
the McKissacks point out, never lost a bomber, a record unmatched by any other
group in the Army Air Force.
