You make it possible for kids from every background to be inspired by their story.

Tuskegee Airman Ret USAF Col. Charles “Chuck” Lane in
Omaha, Nebraska. He named his early aircraft, P-40s mostly,
Meat Ball Rap. Can you understand why he named them in this
way?

And shame on those that because the color of a man’s skin was the reason for the stupidity and bigotry that went on for black Americans during those perilous times for all Americans.
I will always respect these men for what they accomplished as true Americans ……….
