Tuskegee Airmen
The legendary Tuskegee airmen will mark their 80th anniversary on march 22. It was on that date in 1941 that President Franklin D. Roosevelt activated the all-black world war two fighter squadron. They were the first African American aviators in the U.S. armed forces. A virtual anniversary celebration will include the grand opening of a new home for the Tuskegee airmen national museum.
