The Tuskegee Airmen formed when African Americans wanted to be pilots for the United States Army. They wanted to be pilots because they were from the United States and they wanted to serve their homeland like every other pilot. The African Americans went to training to learn basic flying maneuvers. When the African Americans became certified war pilots, they were called the “Tuskegee Airmen” due to them becoming pilots while segregation being present. After they became certified war pilots, they were sent to war with people who were racist and did not appreciate the African Americans’ service. Through out the war, attitudes changed towards the African race when one of the Tuskegee Airmen fought with an American bomber against the enemies. Then after this, the white American pilots wanted to be escorted by the “Tuskegee Airmen” because they realized that the “Tuskegee Airmen” are as equal as the white American pilots. The legacy that was created was the African Americans overcoming segregation and people realizing that Africans Americans are the same as white Americans. After this people saw Africans Americans just as equal as white Americans.
