The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of African American pilots who served in World War II. They were known for their bravery and skill, and their contributions to the war effort helped to break down racial barriers in the military. The Tuskegee Memorial currently at the plaza was dedicated on August 28th, 2021.
The marker ceremony is open to the public, and all are welcome to attend. Join in honoring the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen and their important contribution to our country.
