Back in 2003, Craig created a lesson plan for teachers to create a Tuskegee Airmen Day. Given that February is Black History Month we\u2019re glad to have gotten the reminder about that resource! Useful for Middle School and above you\u2019ll find everything you need to learn about the Tuskegee Airmen and a comprehensive set of activities students can work on. In case you don\u2019t already know about them, the Tuskegee Airmen were black military pilots who were trained at Tuskegee Airfield in Alabama who then distinguished themselves in combat during WWII. Their heroism and stand against segregation led to the elimination of white only facilities on military bases.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lesson plan is free and can be downloaded at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reachandteach.com\/dls\/tuskegee.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.reachandteach.com\/dls\/tuskegee.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[The photo of Tuskegee Airmen in training is from the Library of Congress online archive.
