One of my favorite singers and activists on behalf of the civil rights movement...Tadd Dameron, a great jazz pianist was also born on this date in Cleveland, Ohio...This is also the day that Malcolm X, my number one hero, was murdered. This makes this day a sad day for me. I think I'll do a post about him. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work on your blog.

I had a hard time reading it. But their contribution should be appreciated by all of us, not just African Americans. They fought for America.<BR/><BR/>Truth: I know there is one in Duluth. I'll check and see about those in Minneapolis. My friend Jan says she thinks her father may have been a Tuskegee Airmen. She says he was treated so bad that he never talks about it.Mac Daddy Tribute Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483912561779369669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-49317003487321531972009-02-20T19:32:00.000-06:002009-02-20T19:32:00.000-06:00Great post,The Tuskegee airman are true heros.

It's amazing they did not lose one bomber during world war 2.<BR/><BR/>By the way Macdaddy, I heard a couple of them live in MPLS. I heard Cuba Gooding Jr's character from the HBO movie lives somewhere in MPLS/ST.PAUL area. Even though his character died in the movie,obviously Hollywood did take some liberties on certain parts of their story. <BR/> <BR/>I also think the living members do speaking engagements for at risk youth around town.Vertishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903351135854868487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-61571792192538808202009-02-20T17:12:00.000-06:002009-02-20T17:12:00.000-06:00The Tuskegee Airmen did a fantastic job for their ...The Tuskegee Airmen did a fantastic job for their country and I salute them. Black men have fought in every war the US has had and received very liitle credit for sheding their blood along with others. My veteran brothers continue to fight in Iraq, Afghanstan and in some cases fight racism even today to ensure free speech.rainywalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13445164335609548931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-65037825376338728202009-02-20T16:09:00.000-06:002009-02-20T16:09:00.000-06:00Daddy, As an aviation and aviation history buff, ...Daddy, As an aviation and aviation history buff, I always get a big dose of that powerful feeling down deep inside whenever I read anything about the Tuskegee Airmen. Their adventures are better than any fiction you can possible find.<BR/>How they and so many other soldiers from many different wars were treated upon their return home is the part of the story that gives me that sad remorseful feeling down deep inside.SagaciousHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511441325695460501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-75474951244714521102009-02-20T11:52:00.000-06:002009-02-20T11:52:00.000-06:00it was great seeing them in the inaug. parade in j...it was great seeing them in the inaug. parade in janAll-Mi-T [Thought Crime] Rawdawgbuffalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843040863123899426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-90322690655672097362009-02-19T20:26:00.000-06:002009-02-19T20:26:00.000-06:00YOU are totally awesome!!!

Besides other stuff, they have a great photo gallery. By the way, I have a friend whose father was a Tuskegee Airmen. I'll see if she will share her feelings about her father.

I encourage your readers to check it out -- they have a fabulous "estore" with books, photos, and fun stuff too (I have a hooded sweatshirt. <BR/><BR/>http://www.redtail.org/education/history.html<BR/><BR/>It just brought tears to my eyes knowing how these men served our country with such excellence, but came back to blatant racism. <BR/><BR/>Their accomplishments following the war are truly impressive also -- many Ph.D.'s and advanced degrees among them. <BR/><BR/>Thanks Daddy for reminding us of OUR history -- of all Americans' history, and our refusal to forget contributions of our those who fought for our freedoms. <BR/>Verna<BR/><BR/>PS: There is also a Facebook page for the Tuskegee Airmen.
