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!!
