Tuskegee Airman Lessons

     The Tuskegee Airman have gone through many challanges to become pilots. They persevered and worked hard. For example Benjamin Davis persevered by people not talking to him for 4 years and he still graduated and became an Tuskegee Airman. We also learned that anything is possibl and if you work hard and fight through it you can make it. The Airman fought through all the racism and doubts to become full blown pilots. Tuskegee Airman also show that african americans can be smart because all the airman finished college and did very well on their test. These are only some of the lessons that the tuskegee airman can show you and there are many more.

Tuskeegee Airmen

            We can learn many lessons from the Tuskeegee Airmen.  We can learn to persevere and to fight what for what we feel is right.  We can also learn that all people are equal.  For example, Ben Davis was at West Point's training field and nobody talked or really even cared about him but he soon graduated due to his pereseverance.  Also, in the movie the Tuskeegee Airmen were supposedly late for their morning session because the white people changed the time, but hrough perseverance they were able to achieve their goals.  Overall, the Tuskeegee Airmen decided to fight for the nation that didn't honor or respect them, which shows that they fought for what was right.  I know that all people are equal because in the movie the blacks had in their mind that they were equal to others (mainly caucasians), and they were able to show it through their training and also what they helped in the war.
