Blue Beacon Series: Celebrating the 80th Anniversary of the Tuskegee Airmen
For centuries, African Americans fought for greater roles in U.S. military conflicts, but quotas, exclusionary practices, racial discrimination and prevailing attitudes limited their participation. During the middle period of WWII, the ‘Tuskegee Aviation Experience’ was launched as the Army Air Corps program to train the nation’s first African-American military aviators to fly, fight, maintain combat aircraft and help win World War II (WWII).
