Hype for the Future 171D: City of Tuskegee, Alabama
Overview Tuskegee is a historic city located in the east-central portion of the State of Alabama and serves as the county seat of Macon County, Alabama, most notable for the Tuskegee Institute as well as the Tuskegee Airmen.

On March 19, 1941, the U.S. War Department ordered the creation of the 99th Pursuit Squadron, better known as the Tuskegee Airmen. Their courage in the skies not only contributed to Allied victory, but also challenged stereotypes at home, paving the way for racial integration in the U.S. military and influencing the broader Civil Rights Movement.

The Boeing–Saab T-7 Red Hawk is an American–Swedish transonic advanced jet trainer produced by Boeing with Saab. In September 2018, the United States Air Force (USAF) selected it for the T-X program to replace the Northrop T-38 Talon as the service's advanced jet trainer.

“The #Pentagon has erased countless #photos, #videos & articles about these units from its websites — although quickly restoring some, like the #TuskegeeAirmen, in response to an outcry.
“This isn’t a side issue — it’s a direct assault on #truth & #legacy. It’s a denial of the sacrifices of generations of #BlackAmericans who fought & died for a country that did not always return the favor.

“More disturbingly, the admin & its ideological allies are erasing the accomplishments of #Black #ServiceMembers from the nation’s #military narrative. Units such as the 369th Infantry Regiment, known as the #HarlemHellfighters; the #TuskegeeAirmen; the #MontfordPointMarines; & the #BuffaloSoldiers are no longer central to the story the military tells about itself.

Historical Figures Cut From Military Websites While Others Are Restored Following #DEI #Ban
Some pages about figures like #JackieRobinson the #TuskegeeAirmen the Navajo #CodeTalkers and Desert Storm-era Gen. #ColinPowell have been restored following public #outrage But many remain down and have not been restored.
WTAF #America?! Without them and the #TuskegeeAirmen the war may not have been won!!
"Trump ’s desire to eradicate #diversity, #equity and #INCLUSION #DEI initiatives have prompted the military to begin removing web pages dedicated to #WWII #NavajoCodeTalkers.

bitter followup:
Harry hoped to become a commercial airline #pilot after he left the #military
He was rejected because he was #Black
After helping defeat #fascism in #Europe, he came home to suffer #fascist #American #racism
Now, anti-#DEI initiatives of the #Trump admin means the #AirForce removed training courses with videos of the #TuskegeeAirmen and the #Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) of #WWII
(I heard this was reversed, but anti-DEI remains)

"Decorated #pilot Harry Stewart Jr., one of the last surviving #TuskegeeAirmen, dies at 100"
https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/09/us/harry-stewart-jr-tuskegee-airmen-obit/index.html
Non #Americans: Tuskegee Airmen were #Black fighter and bomber pilots in #WWII. The Tuskegee Airmen lost significantly fewer escorted bombers than other fighter groups
Lt. Col Stewart earned the Distinguished Flying Cross, downing 3 German aircraft in a dogfight on April 1, 1945
He was born on the 4th of July, 1924: can't get more #American than that!
Tuskegee Airman, retired Lt. Col. Harry Stewart Jr., has died at age 100. He had dreamed of flying since he was a child in New York, watching planes at LaGuardia airport. He went on to earn the Distinguished Flying Cross for downing three German aircraft during a dogfight in 1945, and was part of a team of four Tuskegee Airmen who won the U.S. Air Force Top Gun flying competition in 1949 — an achievement that would not be recognized until decades later. After leaving the military, Stewart hoped to become a commercial pilot, but was rejected because of his race. He told Michigan Public Radio in 2019 he had recently been moved to tears on a flight. “When I entered the plane, I looked into the cockpit there and there were two African American pilots. One was the co-pilot, and one was the pilot. But not only that, the thing that started bringing the tears to my eyes is that they were both female,” he said. Here's more from @AssociatedPress about his incredible life and accomplishments.

#ICYMI just in time for #BlackHistory month #DJT admin ordered #AirForce to delete web videos celebrating strategic accomplishments of #TuskegeeAirmen.
Also removed were materials celebrating #female #WWII pilots in #DEI purge following #AntiDEI #RWNJ #DJT edicts. The #military branch confirmed removal of #AfricanAmerican #Pilot and #FemalePilots videos to be fully compliant with #WhiteSupremacist "alignment of national security objectives".

A Forbes article about the takedown of #TuskegeeAirmen #Air#Force webpages over the weekend.
"As the narrative around #DEI becomes more a part of the cultural zeitgeist, editorial calendars, political agendas and boardroom discussions, a very interesting question is being raised: Will Black history be classified under DEI and thus need to be removed... Or is it time we label Black history as American history, because stories such as these should be told to everyone?"

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well! Air Force now says it’ll teach about the Tuskegee airmen after all.
🎯
PUBLIC PRESSURE STILL WORKS!!
KEEP IT UP PEOPLE.
Due to tremendous outcry from Americans, the Air Force has backed down and will now include the Tuskegee Airmen in their training.
I know things are shit lately, but when we fight, we win.
The U.S. Air Force last week halted its course on "airmindedness," which includes videos of the Tuskegee Airmen and Women's Airforce Service Pilots — the first Black and female pilots, respectively, to fly for the military. This was in response to President Trump's order barring DEI programs. Now, the course has been reinstated, albeit in an adjusted form that no longer includes specific DEI material. Here's more from Air Force Times.

@NyakoKitty Imagine being so afraid of this history that decades later you try to erase it in front of everyone.
Disgusting white cowards. Shameful.
I’ve always loved the special art of colorization of old historical photos. I especially love this one. This is the Tuskegee Airmen…they were the first African American pilots and pioneers who blazed a trail through the war-torn skies over Europe. They are part of our history that cannot be rewritten, forgotten or erased by anyone…
