Soaring to glory

a Tuskegee airman's firsthand account of WWII
"Starting in the early 1940s, Tuskegee Institute was at the forefront of helping prepare young African-American pilots to fight for freedom in the skies. Harry Stewart is one of those aspiring aviators who came to our campus as a first step in earning their wings, and then went on to become proudly identified as a Tuskegee Airman. His story of serving our country and overcoming obstacles-not to mention the legacy the Tuskegee Airmen leave us with-is an inspiration for us all." -- Lily D. McNair.
