Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site in Alabama honors the legacy of the first African American military pilots, known as the Tuskegee Airmen, who served heroically during World War II. Trained at Moton Field and nearby Tuskegee Army Air Field, these pilots overcame racial discrimination to excel in combat, escorting bombers and achieving an impressive mission record. The site preserves original training buildings, artifacts, and exhibits, celebrating the Airmen's contributions to desegregating the U.S. military and advancing civil rights.
