The Tuskegee Airmen

I hope you all enjoyed the Tuskegee Airmen. The movie should serve as inspiration for all of us, regardless of skin color. I know it does for me.

In one of our blogs last month, we discussed whether or not MLK's dream has been realized. We tied that discussion into the recent inauguration of Barack Obama. Tuskegee Airmen fought in World War II, many years before MLK would do his work and deleiver the "I Have a Dream" speech, and more than 50 years before Obama would be elected our first African-American president.

It would have been easy for those black pilots to give up on their dream, many did by walking away. What lessons do you think the movie provides for us? How do you feel about the movie? Do you think that the story of the Tuskegee pilots should taught more widely in school? This is a pretty wide-open blog. Stick to the general subject, but feel free to talk either about the movie or about the topic of the Tuskegee Airmen in general.

I posting links and video clips with more information about the pilots. Take time to look them over. If you are working on this at school, you will not be able to view the YouTube videos.
