President Donald Trump's executive order dismantles DEI programs on a federal level, but efforts continue from Montgomery to Tuskegee.

The legacy of Black aviation is a point of pride in Gary, where the contributions of the Tuskegee Airmen — trailblazing pilots who fought for America abroad and equality at home — are honored through tributes like a statue at the Gary Aquatorium and a bridge at Gary/Chicago International Airport.

A video on the pioneering Black pilots, famed for their World War II exploits, was stripped from an Air Force basic training curriculum this week.

Controversy erupts over the Air Force's decision to remove Tuskegee Airmen video amid Trump's executive orders on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

President’s Trump's push to eliminate DEI from Federal agencies through Executive Orders almost took out the story of an unlikely casualty: The Tuskegee Airmen.

The Air Force pulled the course for review last week following the Trump administration's sweeping order barring diversity programs.

The Boston city council honored the Tuskegee Airmen and General Woody Woodhouse on Wednesday for their efforts in World War II. The mostly Black military pilots and airmen were pioneers, breaking racial barriers.

The removal of videos honoring Black and female WWII pilots sparked widespread outrage.The Air Force has since reversed its decision, dismissing the controversy as a "rumor."

Britt’s office said “resistance style antics” to cast the history of the Tuskegee Airmen as DEI were intended to attack and undermine Trump’s executive order.

A basic training course that included a video about the famed World War II Black aviators was shut down last week in response to President Trump's DEI ban.

Admission to the Tuskegee Airmen Museum at the Hosanna House will be free in February. Visitors can come to the Hosanna House at 400 Sherwood Road in Wilkinsburg every Saturday and Sunday of the month from 12 to 4 p.m. The free admission is in celebration of Black History Month.

The Tuskegee Airmen were founded in 1941 in Tuskegee, Alabama when the U.S. Army Air Corp began a program to train Black servicemembers as Air Corps Cadets.
