IN OCTOBER OF 1940, THE ROOSEVELT ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED, THAT BLACK PILOTS WOULD BE TRAINED IN THE ARMY AIR CORPS. EVENTUALLY, ALL PILOTS AND THOSE SERVING IN SUPPORT ROLES CAME TO BE TRAINED AT THE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, TODAY KNOWN AS TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY.
PRIOR TO THIS, MANY AFRICAN-AMERICAN SERVICE MEMBERS WERE DENIED SKILLED TRAINING AND MILITARY LEADERSHIP ROLES.
THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO TRAINED AT THE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE OVERCAME SEGREGATION AND PREJUDICE TO BECOME ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY RESPECTED FIGHTER GROUPS OF WORLD WAR II, TODAY WE KNOW THEM AS THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN
