What did the Tuskegee Airmen have to overcome? What is your opinion?

How did the Tuskegee Airmen contribute to WWII, and help America with racial equality.

Answer 1

Answer: The tuskegee airmen had to overcome many things like racial injustice, just because of the color of their skin they weren't able to do things like simply fly a plane. Many young African Americans who aspired to become pilots were met with significant obstacles, starting with the fact that (racist) people believed that Black people could not learn to fly or operate an aircraft solely based on the color of their skin. In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt announces he would expand the civilian pilot training program in the United States. Which was a huge breakthrough for the african american community. But at the time, racial segregation remained a rule in the U.S. armed forces, as well as much of the country. Much of the military establishments (mostly in the South) believed Black soldiers were not as capable as whites to operate an aircraft and  that they performed relatively poorly in combat. Which was completely and utterly unfair!
