In a nation where efforts to deny Black contributions to world history are ever rising, I’m more committed than ever to sharing our stories. Last week, I was honored to speak with over 300 students across 10 classes about the Tuskegee Airmen’s contributions to Double Victory in WWII. My grandfather was an original Tuskegee Airman and took the now famous Freeman Field Photograph which played a pivotal role in the desegregation of the US Armed Forces.

Did you have the chance to see “FLY” at the Pasadena Playhouse back in 2016? It was a theatrical production about the Tuskegee Airmen. I had the pleasure of doing an installation for their on-site community gallery, and I had access to an amazing family archive of photos from LA artist Mark Greenfield, whose grandfather was a member of the Airmen.

@KFM I didn’t see it. That would have been amazing.

This is so cool. And the additional context of your grandfather’s story from a quick search is even cooler !!! Love that you captured the story in a children’s book.
