Past Program:
Sunday, February 5th, 2023, 2 PM
Patt Terrelongue and Reynard Burns
"The Tuskegee Airmen in World War II"
at the Jericho Public Library
1 Merry Lane, Jericho
In person or via zoom
The Tuskegee Airmen were dedicated, determined young men who enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps to become America’s first black military airmen. They accepted the challenge during a time when many people thought that Blacks were inferior to whites in intelligence, skill, courage, and patriotism. Of the estimated 16,000 involved, nearly 1,000 were trained in Tuskegee Alabama, to be pilots of fighter and bomber airplanes. The famed 332nd fighter group is most noted for their distinguished record escorting B-17 bombers and the distinctive Red Tails on their P-51 fighters. The Tuskegee Airmen received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2007.
Reynard Burns, President of the Tri-State Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen, and Patt Terrelongue, the daughter of a Tuskegee Airman, will tell the story of the Tuskegee Airmen.
We are again partnering with the Jericho Public Library for this hybrid program. It will be available in-person or live on your computer. Register for the Zoom webinar on www.JerichoLibrary.org (under Events, Program Registration). Refreshments will follow the in-person program at the library.
