Tuskegee_airmen_2 groupLong lost photographs and artifacts of these World War II pilots are on display at California African American Museum (CAAM). There will be airplane making workshops for kids, question/answer sessions with some of the Tuskegee Airmen and many other activities surrounding this event.

“Tuskegee Airmen fought on many battlefields, foreign and domestic yet were under acknowledged and under appreciated. As the surviving Tuskegee Airmen were saluted by their newest Commander-in-Chief, President Barack Obama, riding past his Inaugural reviewing stand on January 20, 2009, they were smiling and rose up as proudly as if their now frailer bodies had slipped off the bonds of time. It’s time to recall for a new generation the regard we have for these ageless warriors and all those who sent them aloft –to see them as the young gallant men and women who proudly went to war for us all and became our heroes of WWII.”
