The Impact
Some men weren´t picked to be in the USAAC just because they were black. The Military was separated by race no matter what branch you were in.The government only let black men work in the air because they were forced. No one thought that they would ever succeed.The young black men were willing to go fight because they were black and not been able to do much. going to the war is they´re way of showing everyone that they can do what the white men could do and just as good.

The Tuskegee Airmen reflect the struggle of African Americans to achieve equal rights, not only through legal attacks on the system of segregation, but also through the techniques of nonviolent direct action aimed at segregation in the military.
