On March 19, 1941, the U.S. War Department ordered the creation of the 99th Pursuit Squadron, better known as the Tuskegee Airmen. Their courage in the skies not only contributed to Allied victory, but also challenged stereotypes at home, paving the way for racial integration in the U.S. military and influencing the broader Civil Rights Movement.

"The Tuskegee Airmen: Return to Ramitelli" tells the inspiring story of America’s first Black military pilots. Learn how their service helped challenge segregation in the U.S. military and reshape what was possible for future generations with our classroom-ready discussion guide for grades 8-12 and adult/higher ed.
