Tuskegee Airmen Tarrin Weston

What I have learned from the Tuskegee Airmen is that never say never. Everything is possible and if anyone tells you that you can't show them that you can. If you think you can't do it right then try another method and you will find what you are looking for. Back in the times of the Tuskegee Airmen there was segregation and people were treated different because of their race. As you see that the black airmen have went through all of that trouble and treatment to end up helping the war. So to end this off I say thank you Tuskegee Airmen

What I learned about the Tuskegee Airmen!!!!

Some of the lessons we can learn from the Tuskegee Airmen is to follow your dreams. You should never give up on what you want and what you feel you should have just like Lt. lee in the movie never let anybody take his dreams away from him, he followed his heart. I also learned that you should never let anybody make you feel lower than what you really are. I learned this from the movie when the Lt. asked why they came to the airforce and lt. lee said to serve his country, the man asked Lt. Lee what maid him think he should be able to serve our country, he gave him a very firm answer. The last thing i learned from the Tuskegee Airman  was to have fun in everything you do. you should love your occupation so much you are willing to fight for it the airmen showed me this by never giving up even in the hard times they had to face.

History Flies!! By: Jennella Arter

This previous week in my history class we learned about the "Tuskegee Airmen". We had heard about them before but we didn't know the whole story. We watched the movie about them from HBO, but that's nothing like talking to the real thing! Lt. Broadwater came to visit us at Stuart! He gave us a lot of information and 1 lesson I got from him was NEVER GIVE UP! The Tuskegee Airmen had many obstacles while they were working to prove themselves to any and everyone who said a colored person was not able or shouldn't be able to fly planes as pilots. They didn't give up or give in to negative and unwanted behavior, even though friends were loss along the way. Lt. Broadwater had brought along a friend, a former graduate of Stuart Junior High. He went into air trafficking at a young age, after high school. The lesson I got from him was EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT! He, along with his mother, made sure he got the best education weather he liked it or not! The lesson overall to me was YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU PUT YOUR MADE TO! The Tuskegee Airmen believed in one another and themselves, no matter how many people said it could never happen, because THEY PROVED THEM WRONG!!

We Are Taking Off in History!!!!!By:Toree

During the past couple of weeks our history class has been learning about THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN! When we first started we never realized how important they were. The Tuskegee airmen went through a lot of things before they got their recognition. Since the airmen were men of color lots of people doubted their ability to fly and airplane and to serve our country. They went through things like discrimination and  lots of people who told them they couldn't do or be anything important. After lots of training and lost friendships their lives on the training field were about to change. One day Elizabeth Roosevelt came to the training field discussed why the Tuskegee airmen were not protecting our country and flew in the back of one of their planes with an African American pilot. After Ms.Roosevelt met with the commissioner the Tuskegee airmen were able to go serve our country in combat. Even though they went to the combat field they were still mistreated and doubted by the white pilots. After many of the white "certified' and "high end" pilots were killed in combat and noticed they didn't stand a chance they tested the Tuskegee airmen and decided to see how they handle the combat field with first hand action. They Tuskegee airmen followed through and got the bombers to there destination harm free. After a long meeting the commissioners decided to recruit the Tuskegge airmen for every mission. The Tuskegge held a very high record that no one could beat which was that they NEVER LOST A BOMBING!!!! The Tuskegee airmen worked very hard and are american heroes and even with the teasing, doubtfulness and criticizing they still followed through and proved themselves and gave a different look to people all over the country and gave hope to many African Americans. Our Class also had the priviledge for a Tuskegee airman to come to our school along with and alumni that also works in the flight business.  They both talked about experiences and many programs that they have to offer you adults like us that are interested in the flight business. We learned a lot that we didn't know before. Them coming in was very inspirational and gave everyone hope which is why we are proud to honor these UNSUNG HEROES.
