Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

The MHHE invites you to the opening reception of the newest MHHE exhibition, "The Tuskegee Airmen," curated in conjunction with the Kennesaw State Museum Studies class. 

The exhibition explores the history and social context of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American pilots in the U.S. military. The fliers and their support crew, dubbed “The Red Tails,” experienced segregation and discrimination while upholding one of the most successful records for flight missions during World War II.

Tuskegee Airmen veterans, representatives from Tuskegee University, and delegates from Tuskegee organizations across the southeast United States will be in attendance. Opening remarks are at 1PM; refreshments will be served.
