@of_the_wasteland: I was asked to write little one person plays/presentations for our WWII weekend at the museum and I knew immediately that I wanted to write about a Tuskegee Air Woman. When I was touring the galleries we stopped at the Tuskegee display and my director said something like “but of course they weren’t all men, you know”… I did not know. A few weeks later and Ms Mildred Hemmons Carter had my whole heart. Infinite thanks to my beautiful friend Carmen for performing this! #ushistory #TikTokLearningCampaign #tuskegeeairmen #storytime #HistoryTime #fyp #historytok #wwii #aviation #tuskegee

“Named his plane Mike, he was flying with me all along” line cut me. I want to do movies as a director and I thought myself but I hear these stories and it turning me that if I don’t do it then I won’t have the chance to give my people a voice. This is absolutely amazing 💜

I love that this was created when over 300,000 black women have left the workforce. Great job!

1) So glad the museum director encouraged you to write this. 2) SO glad you all recognized the importance of including the stories of lesser knowns in the history. THIS is why DEI initiatives and history preservation is so crucial. Thanks SO much for sharing this.

Do you know about the Wright Flight program? It gets middle school and high school kids interested in aviation and includes a lot of aviation history. They would love this for their curriculum. I’m going to send it to my local chapter.
