Black pilots of World War II were virtually unknown outside the Negro Press of the time, until Charles Francis named them The Tuskegee Airmen is his 1950s book with their name as its title. After two motion pictures and numerous documentaries they now have their own holiday and parks highways and bridges named after them.

What is the truth about these men? Who were they, what did they do, and is their story a war story or a civil rights struggle?

There certainly was racism in America in the 1940’s, but how did that compare to the rest of the world? There were people fighting for equality, but who was doing the fighting? It was people - Americans - black and white.

The Tuskegee American as black Americans indeed fought against the Nazis, only because America made it possible.

Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.
