Tuskegee Airmen National Museum, Detroit

I LOVED visiting this museum and talking personally to the gentlemen there. As a white, early 50's woman, I was taken to tears at the "realities" these heros of history had endured while fighting for our country and was privlegded to meet, listen and thank some of them personally. My visit impacted me greatly...With the new movie,"Red Tails", coming out, I was hoping to bring some friends to the museum for a visit before going to see the movie, and am disappointed to see it isn't open during the winter months. It would have been a great personal touch to what we'll see in the upcoming movie...Nonetheless, once again-to the men who fought, thankyou. To anyone who hasn't visited the museum, please go. It is a little known place of eye opening history, and a place of great honor.

The website is scarce. It is sad that there is no history, pictures, or back ground information on the Tuskegee Airmen on the site. We're talking about a Great group of men, which is a part (black history) of American history. And this is all we get. More! Was it worth the time? Yes, something is better than nothing at all.
