Visited the Tuskegee Air Museum, the Tuskegee Institute and the Tuskegee Carver Museum.
The Tuskegee Air Museum honors the original Tuskegee Airmen who were the first African American Flyers during World War II. As a result of their performance in the War as fighter pilots supporting large bomber airplaines, the Military changed its racial policy of segregation.
The Tuskegee Institute was founded in 181 by Booker T. Washington. Originally it was established to train African American Teachers. What a beautiful campus! It is the only university that is considered a historical landmark.
MONGOMERY ALABAMA:
Visiting the Civil Rights Memorial was humbling. The exterior was a waterfall and a large disk in water highlighting the dates of the civil rights movement and people who were killed because of their involvement in the movement. The interior of the building was very tastefully done, with pictures and stories of those who were killed. It is a sad part of our American history.
We also visited the Rosa Parks Museum at Troy University. While the museum is small, it, too was done tastefully and clearly tells the story of mistreatment of blacks on the city bus lines. Good for Rosa Parks for standing up for what was right!
