this week we learned that the
tusgeegee air camp and it's air men
was a trial to find out weather or not
african american men could handle being piolets
and if so how good they would be compared to
the white piolets of the air core. Much to many
peoples' surprize, many of the african american
piolets being trained were very capable young men.
Few of these many brave men were lucky enough to
survive into modern times but we were lucky enough
to hear one's story on thursday of this week.
We also had the emancipation proclomation read to
us by a local artist and poet I have heard it before
but having reinforced always helps. The demonstration
we were given on cannon fire was more pain than help
for me, but i think my brother and most of the people
liked it.
