Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site

Tuskegee, AL
Jim Crow

Moton Field, where the Tuskegee Airmen — the first Black military pilots — trained during World War II. The site honors their courage and their fight against segregation on two fronts: against enemies abroad and racism at home.

Counter-Narrative

The myth this site refutes: that Black Americans were not trusted to fight for the country. They fought — and were still denied the rights they defended.
